Chin Implant: Q&A

Am I an Ideal Candidate for Rhinoplasty/chin Implant?

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

Would changing your chin and nose make you happy

I have looked at your photographs and don't see any obvious proportionality issues in your face. Your chin is a touch on the weak side and your nose is a touch broad. If subtle changes to these organs would satisfy you, then it is worth considering. However, from what you have written, it doesn't sound to me like you have any great conviction on these issues and I therefore doubt you would be happier if you did the surgery. I suggest you visit with a couple... more

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

Yes you are a candidate for a chin implant and tip plasty.

From your photos you would appear to be a good candidate for a Chin Implant and a Tip-plasty to reduce the width of the nasal tip and lessen the nostril flare. IMHO, you might start out with the Chin Implant and see if your face grows into your nose in the next 5-7 years.

Your chin has a perfect size and length, exactly below your lower lip, how its suppose to be..plus your head is not even straight up, so even with your head slightly down, your chin is in a great position and with u looking totally straight, you have a perfect balanced chin. U also have a nice jaw line, front,profile all good. Your nose looks from the profile view perfect, straight and smooth. The front, maybe a bit wide and your nastrols could be smaller. Not sure if thats worth a surgery. Although Im not a doctor, but Im very very anal about a nice perfect balanced face, especially a nose and chin, on girls and guys. Believe me, you dont need anything done on your chin!

Agreed! I think you look great and have a very nice, balanced profile. To me, your most noticable feature is your eyes. Very strong, masculine eyes and eyebrows. Your jaw is strong and broad as well, also masculine and makes men more attractive. I don't even notice your nose when I'm looking at the pictures which is good, it matches your face and blends in well. As a 24 year old female, I think you look very attractive and you do not think you need to do ANYTHING to your face. I'd recommend braces to almost anyone because straight teeth are huge on the attractiveness scale for many people. I don't know what your teeth look like but if I were you I'd go with whatever the orthodontist thinks for braces and don't get any plastic surgery unless it's something you've really thought about you have the money in cash to spend without draining your savings. Hope that helps!
