If there is enough fat underneath the chin without loose, saggy skin, then the best option would be laser liposuction.  This procedure can be done under local anesthesia and takes about 45 minutes to perform. There is minimal bruising and swelling which should rapidly subside.   Recovery is around one week,  and a bandage wrap must be worn for that one week to help the skin to tighten.  There have not been great long term results with other products that are non invasive, while laser liposuction can result in a great permanent improvement.  Make an appointment with a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon to discuss your best options. 

Chin augmentation is an excellent way to balance your facial features.  It is an easy procedure that can be done under local anesthesia, while a sliding genioplasty is more involved and slightly more risky.  The chin implant should only minimally change your front view unless you are trying to lengthen the vertical height of the chin, which the genioplasty can do a little more effectively.  Niether procedure should affect your facial motion.  Most people simply need more projection and the implant is definitely my preferred procedure for that.  It is normal to have concerns about implants, but infection is rare and they essentially become part of the body after they become encased in collagen.  The implant is placed over your existing bone structure of your lower jaw to increase dimensions and will produce an excellent result. If you are still having concerns about the procedure, please speak with your surgeon, and he/she will help you resolve any questions.

Nerve injury producing facial paralysis is not considered a complication of rhinoplasty. Such nerve injury could possibly occur with chin reduction surgery; however, this is very rare and is almost never seen in well performed procedures. This is why it is always important to select your surgeon carefully.
