Deep labiomental fold and my chin sticks out a lot. Could a genioplasty fix this or would I need jaw surgery? (Photos)

I have a deep labiomental fold and my chin sticks out a lot, which makes my side profile look really bad. I have gotten braces and my orthodontist never mentioned anything about jaw issues or bite issues. I’m pretty sure I don’t need jaw surgery but still want confirmation. I saw that a genioplasty can vertically lengthen your chin, and I read that this is usually why deep labiomental folds happen. Would a genioplasty fix my issue?
