8 teeth extraction for braces when having underdeveloped chin. (photos)

niko87
I would like to improve my profile and straighten my teeth at the same time. By seeing 3 orthodontists, I was recommended to extract all 4 wisdom teeth (which I already did), but they also wanted to extract other 4 teeth. I feel that by extracting 2 teeth from my upper arch, I would make my profile look even more weak (I would actually make my upper lip follow the lower one which is underdeveloped). What would you recommend? Is extracting 8 teeth in total a good approach?
