Also if i were to have all the procedures in your practice what would you charge(optional). Thanks in advance!

Rhinoplasty and Chin Implant

Chin implant with rhinoplasty

With regards to the rhinoplasty, it is important to have a chin that is well balanced with the nose. If the chin is out of balance, the nose will still look too prominent even after a patient has rhinoplasty. With regards to the rhinoplasty, hump removal reduction with the tip and the bridge can all be performed through an endonasal approach. The cost for a rhinoplasty is approximately $6000. The chin implant is placed through a submental incision and is placed directly over the bone and... more

Combining chin augmentation with rhinoplasty

From the profile photograph you've submitted it certainly does appear that there's an imbalance between the projection of your chin (underprojected) and nose (overprojected). While improvement could be made with nose surgery alone, addressing the chin as well would certainly allow for an even better result.

Rhinoplasty and Chin Augmentation

From the image that you provided one can appreciate the hump on the nose and the desire for a corrective rhinoplasty.

A Chim implant and rhinoplasty would give you a great new look

The time between high school and college is a good time for you to under go a rhinoplasty and a chin implant. From your profile photo it looks like you are a really good candidate for both of these procedures. It would be good to get an analysis of your bite (occlusion) to make sure you would not be a candidate for jaw surgery.

Chin implant can definitely help with rhinoplasty

Hi btbreb, Your photo suggests that a chin augmentation procedure, either with an implant or with a sliding genioplasty, would definitely help the appearance of your nose. This adds little risk, but can offer substantial improvement in your appearance. The charge for both procedures is likely $6000 to $12,000. Good Luck!
