Is This Change Realistic? (photo)
Hello. I'm looking to get surgery in the hope of looking as good as I possibly can. I'm wondering if these changes which I illustrate in my before after pictures are possible. I'm looking here at a nosejob, chin implant, jaw implant, hair transplant and lip reshaping. I'm also wondering if there are better alternatives to silicone implants in the case of the chin and jaw augmentation. I want these changes to be permanent and to carry little or no side effects. Thank you very much!

Implants and facial change
You can come close to most of your goals. I typically prefer medpor implants to silicone in men who want a very sculpted look. they feel more like bone and give a more chiseled appearance. I also use implant screws to secure them so they can't get displaced.

Implants, hair surgery, etc.
All that you mention can be done with a goal of improvement not perfection. Remember you will have continued hair loss so you should read the advantages and disadvantages of grafts vs. the Fleming-mayer Flap.
