What kind of jaw surgery could fix my receding chin and lip incompetence? (Photo)

hc1008
I had braces as a teen that straightened my teeth, but I feel that it changed my profile. It's completely different from that of both my parents. I strain my lips to close my mouth, can't breath through my nose and have jaw pains. I also feel that the 4 teeth that were extracted for braces made my face "sink in". Is that possible and can it be fixed?
