I booked a private consulation with an orthodontist, they said I have an average overbite, and apprently this isnt something that needs correcting. I am getting braces however to fix a cross bite, but I never noticed my profile view until recently, and im really shocked by it, my nose seems to have grown, its only 4.5cm but it sticks out equal to the length almost, and I dont know if I have a weak chin, it is just small, im 22 will it grow anymore? I feel I look really young from the side

Don't rush into anything

Every individual can see in themselves something they consider something less than perfect. However, no individual is perfect. Your pictures do not demonstrate a seriously weak chin and your nose is within normal limits of aesthetic considerations. Could you have surgery and alter things? Of course, but the real issue is...will it make enough difference to you... I would think long and hard before committing to surgery.

Your photos are very limited Better photos would offer more information Based on the photos supplied it is not possible to determine whether you would benefit from a chin augmentation Suggest speaking with your surgeon about possible techniques to simulate the effects of a chin implant
