Hi, do you mean the lips not closing? Right now I still have arch bar attached to my upper and lower teeth. I really hope this issue will be gone when the archbar got removed...
Why don't you have braces!?  Arch bars shred the gums.

While aesthetics are subjective, there is a grouping that lies within a normal range, and your perception is outside of that.  I think your image of ideal is off.  Either that or I greatly underestimate the negative perception of change, even when the change itself is positive.   That Asians tend to like softer features could be partially to blame... I saw a couple before/afters of people who shaved down their strong jawlines only to look uglier.  Didn't make sense to me.

Even with the swelling, you look much better after surgery.

Edit: I'll add that I'd personally be concerned that my chin wasn't advanced enough if I was you.
