Improving Facial Profile

A rhinoplasty and chin implant would be very beneficial. As suggested by another surgeon, skin care would improve your appearance now and avoid the signs of chronically inflamed skin the rest of your life.

Large Nose and Small Chin

You appear to be a fine candidate for a reduction rhinoplasty via open technique for detailed perfection . Nasal bones need narrowed, hump corrected, tip needs narrowed. The end result needs to be a natural, non surgical appearing masculine nose. A chin implant is reasonable and can be done at the same time.

Your concerns are noted. You could probably benefit from some dorsal shaving and modifications of the tip as well but a well performed exam will give me more information. A chin implant is always an option as well.

Reduction Rhinoplasty

It is best to have standard photographs to give the specific advice. That being said, I agree with my colleagues, reduction rhinoplasty and chin implant would be the best options.

Rhinoplasty and chin implant

I agree that reducing the size of your nose and adding a chin implant would make a very positive change in your appearance.

You may be a good candidate for Chin Implant and Rhinoplasty Surgery.

I read your concern and reviewed the photos you posted. Well-performed rhinoplasty surgery may lead to anrrowing of your nose on the frontal view, and slight deprojection and hump-reduction on your profile view. A Chin Implant may also lead to a more harmonious appearance of your facial profile. Please consult several reputable facial plastic surgeons to see what would be best for you. All the best from NJ.

I think you would definitely benefit from a chin implant and a conservative rhinoplasty to eliminate the dorsal hump. I would also recommend you see a dermatologist to help you with your skin - this will make a huge difference for you. Regardless, you should have a thorough consultation and discussion with a plastic surgeon so the two of you can work together as a team to understand what you'd like to look like, and to establish realistic expectations for your overall... more

Improvement of profile

I think that you need to start at basics. It looks as if you will benefit from chin implant and rhinoplasty, however, your occlusion must be inspected to insure that orthodontia isn't needed. Although those things will help, I would also suggest that you get on skin care, and consider Acutane. Get it all taken care of before college. Also, it isn't the best to do cosmetic surgery especially with implants, in the face of infection. sek

A few thoughts Consider a chin implant to improve the overall balance of your face. For your nose, you may notice that: It projects forward more than expected - it can be improved. There is a moderate hump in the upper nose - that can be corrected. The nose seems deviated to one side - it can be made straighter. There is fullness in the tip of the nose - in can be made more refined These are just some observations based on you pictures. For a better opinion,... more

Profiloplasty: Chin and nose

I think that a alloplastic augmentation genioplasty with a chin implant (after occlusion evaluation) or osseous genioplasty and rhinoplasty are the two best options to enhance your profile.

Otto Joseph Placik, MD
Chicago Plastic Surgeon

Extended chin implant and good rhinoplasty work very well together.

Hi. From your pictures, you seem like an ideal candidate for these procedures, which should make a big difference in your appearance, both in profile and in front view. The anatomy of your nose is very favorable for a good outcome, and there are several steps involved. What you need is a mandibular implant (also called an extended chin implant), and it should be made of solid silicone to imitate bone. This will make your chin stronger, and your jawline a little wider as well in... more

Improving your Profile

I recommend 3 areas for improvement: a natural-appearing rhinoplasty to eliminate the hump and refine the tip a chin augmentation. This will lend strength and proportion to your face. I am not a fan of chin implants in younger patients. It is very unlikely that a chin implant will sit for 50 or 60 years without eventually causing problems such as erosion of the bone or damage to tooth roots. I much prefer a chin augmentation using your own bone (a so-called sliding genioplasty)... more

A rhinoplasty and a small chin implant would be good plus some medical grade anit-acne medications. Good luck!

Profile improvement

From the limited view of your photo, I would recommend hump reduction, bringing the tip closer to the face (de-projection), and dropping the tip (de-rotation). HArd to tell from the picture if a small chin implant will benefit you. Dr Siegel

Profile improvement and balance with a rhinoplasty and a chin implant.

Profile improvement and balance with a rhinoplasty and a chin implant is what would benefit you. Make sure you see an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon whose noses look natural to you. You want to know the real noses he has done and not just computer imaging. Better yet, meet with patients he has done.

Impoving Profile

Hi, From the pics you sent, it appears that you have a pronounced hump and over-projected tip. A rhinoplasty procedure can reduce the hump and lower your tip. You can also send your photos via email to slup@facechange.org, and I will image them for you so you can see what you would look like after the procedure. I think a chin implant would help but not absolutely necessary. Best, Dr.S.

Profile Improvement

Both rhinoplasty and chin implant surgeries will improve the balance of the face on profile view. The other consideration is oral surgery. It is a bit hard to tell from your photos, but I suspect that this may be a part of the imbalance.
