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?
I would agree with the other posts, that its difficult to say with the type of picture you include. But if you do build up your dorsum of your nose, it will have the effect of making your chin look weaker or smaller. So if your original consult with your rhino doc mentioned a chin aug for this reason, then I would expect you to be good candidate as well. Plus with men, specific implant shapes help to give a slightly more square chin pad in front, which adds masculine definition to your jawline. Overall, I would suggest an implant, and use imaging software with a patient like you to confirm its value and determine it's size.
About 4 years ago I got a chin implant. The implant was fine but not as large as I hoped for. 3 weeks ago I had the chin implant replaced with an larger implant that gave me more anterior projection and jaw line. Today, 3 weeks after the surgery the bulk of the numbness is gone but my bottom lip is not functioning properly. When I smile my bottom lip stays still blocking my bottom teeth. Is this something permanent? Will I ever get my old smile back?
The larger implant and the swelling from surgery are the most likely cause of the decreased mobility. I doubt it has anything to do with your motor nerves. As with any tissue expansion, the elasticity of the overlying skin and muscle will be reduced for a period of time, and you are only three weeks out. As your body resolves some swelling, and stretches to accommodate the larger implant, your elasticity will improve. And that's when your smile will be back as well. It will be a few more weeks, but stay patient.
I have a nice dimple in my chin which is fairly noticeable. However, because I have a recessed chin, I am considering getting a chin implant to improve my profile. But in the process, I do not want to lose the dimple in my chin. So my question is: is it possible to avoid losing your cleft chin when you get an implant?
The central dimple is created because of the soft tissue of the chin pad, and not because of the underlying bone. The fibrofatty tissue that creates the central chin pad is more fibrous and condensed in the midline, which creates the central depression or dimple.
Placing a chin implant in the plane deep to this tissue is the norm, described as the sub periosteal pocket. So logically, you can see that it should not have a major influence on the depth of the dimple. I will add, however, that extra volume in this deep plane will make is subtly less evident, similar to blowing up a partially inflated balloon and noticing the outer skin of the balloon is more smooth. This should be a very small change.
The shape of the implant can be selected (and later shaped depending on the type of implant) to maintain the dimple, or the more square contour of the masculine jaw. My preference is for an external approach from an incision hidden under the chin, and a silastic implant.
