Is it possible to increase the length of my face with chin augmentation? (Photo)

Random2720
I have 2 major problems with my face: 1) my chin is quite receded, and 2) my face is very short and round. I'm actually quite happy with the way I look if I spread my jaws and jut my lower jaw out (pictured below), which increases the length of my chin/face by about a cm or so and helps create a V-shaped jawline, but I want to look like that when relaxed. Is this effect attainable with a chin implant? If not, are there any other cosmetic surgeries that could help me achieve the look I'm after?
