Would I be a good candidate for lefort 1, lower jaw advancement and genioplasty? (Photos)

HopefullyFighting
Hi, I had braces when I was in high school to fix an overbite, but unfortunately, my orthodontist told me that it would never be completely corrected unless I underwent jaw surgery. How much of an improvement to my profile/jawline I might see with lower jaw advancement and genioplasty? I am also wondering if lefort 1 would benefit my midface? Is my maxilla recessed at all, since my lower jaw is underdeveloped I am wondering if my upper jaw would also have the same problem.
