Chin and Nose Surgery to Feminise the Face? (photo)

I'm a girl that looks a lot like her dad! My chin seems to be overly large, bit protruded like a witch, and my nose long and large. Any idea how to correct these features to make me look more feminine?

Be Careful with the Chin!

Your concerns are quite understandable and your awareness of the nose/chin combination is to be applauded. Regarding your nose, a rhinoplasty to slightly turn up (shorten the nasal length) and narrow the tip would be nice. Rotating the tip upward is key to your desired "feminization" of the face. A bit of the excess projection above the tip would also be removed and this would help define the tip better. The chin is a challenge as we know from experience that chin... more

Nose and Chin Reduction

Because the nose and chin are the two center pieces of the face that protrude, surgery on both of them at the same time is frequently done to provide balance and harmony. Also because there are many different ways to reduce the size/shape of both of them, you would have to schedule a consultation and submit to a direct physical exam. After that a comprehensive surgical plan could be developed specifically for you. Glad to help...RAS

Rhinoplasty and Chin Reduction for Facial Feminization

Shortening and narrowing the chin can be done by bone removal and the nose can be narrowed, all changes that point to more feminine features. The key question is how effective they would be in you. You would need to submit more pictures from different angles and imaging needs to be done to see how this may potentially look on your face.

Chin and nose surgery to feminize face

The rhinoplasty procedure typically involves hump removal, narrowing, refining, and feminizing the tip and overall making the nose smaller. Osteotomies are performed to narrow the nasal bones, while suturing the tip cartilages creates refinement in the bulbous tip. Deprojection of the mandible can be accomplished through a couple of methods. The easiest method is to reduce the small amount of anterior projection by filing some bone down on the front part of the chin. ... more

Hey there foreversandi - not yet, still doing a lot of homework (and saving) before I get the procedures done. Dr John Frodel raised some good points about the chin/jaw relationship (cervico mantel angle) and the PS I saw so far never mentioned anything about the jaw/chin relationship. In fact, the simulation on his PC of my before and after pictures did not look very appealing. The nose was a slight improvement but my chin / length of my face looked distorted, especially compared to the rest of my body / build. He also failed to mention the 'bunching up' side effect that surgery may have. I am in South Africa and the cosmetic industry is not as diverse as it is in America / Thiland etc. So, besides trying to finalise costs for my surgery, I need to add more money to my kitty to see if I can have it done in America (I'm afraid of the language barrier in Thailand - been there before and had lots of mis communication). If not, I am going to have to plead and convince my surgeon to read up on the 'what ifs' of this kind of procedure - just so that I have peace of mind if he has to operate on me. Please visit a surgeon who specialises in both jaw/chin and nose coorective surgery. They will be able to operate on a complete picture rather than treating each aspect independently. Hope I have helped.
