(Been told not possible) - Use a size 2 Am I going to have a hard time finding a good surgeon to do these requests? I had a rhinoplasty, but my nose is still big...

Can a Jaw Implant Be Done Under a Local Anaesthetic ? I would consider a jaw implant, but can it be done under a local anesthetic. What type of implant would widen my jaw?, What are the risks and do they need replacing after a certain period of time like breast implants do.

A: Jaw Implant and Local

I do not feel a jaw implant can be placed and fixated with the techniques we presently utilize easily under local Anesthesia. Presently I think I would prefer general anesthesia for placement of a jaw implant. This is different than a chin implant.

Getting Revision Rhino Next Month, Wondering if It's Worth Getting a Small Chin Implant? (photo) I am getting revision rhinoplasty to fix a bad job caused my septum to totally collapse. Also the original work made it way to feminine. I know it's not easy to just imagine, but the nose is just going to be more of a right triangle as a opposed to the slide it is now. When I look at my profile i notice that harmony between my chin and nose is minimal, and I fear that after surgery the chin will look even smaller. Would it make sense to get a chin implant?

A: revision rhinoplasty

Your mouth is open on the side profile with your teeth not being closed. The open mouth/jaw has the effect of making your chin seem smaller than it is.A good lateral photo with your mouth closed will be helpful.
