What Surgeries Would You Recommend to Balance out my Nose, Upper Lip, and Chin? (photo)
I underwent a rhinoplasty a year ago to remove a small bump. This made my nose look nicer, however my surgeon also pointed out to me that my nose was too big for my chin. This has been bothering me ever since because it's very true. My nose sticks out too far and my chin doesn't stick out far enough. Also, my upper lip looks weird to me from the side and I don't know what I could possibly do about that. As doctors, what would you recommend I undergo to balance out all these features? Thanks!

Balancing nose, upper lip, and chin
Performing a chin implant will help to de-project the nose adding more facial balance. When a patient has a retrusive chin, a nose automatically looks larger. The chin augmentation can be performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately 30 minutes to perform. Implants are composed of silastic and inserted through a ½ inch incision underneath the chin.

Nasal-Chin Balance

Nose-lip-chin balance
A few observations based on your photos:
Your nasal tip is under-rotated, meaning that your profile view would look better if the angle between the nose and the upper lip was less acute.
The upper lip seems small as compared to the lower lip. The lower lip also protrudes further than the upper lip on the profile. This may be improved with an injectable filler or an upper lip implant. If there are any orthognathic issues, correction of those may help re-establish...

It is all about balance and proportions! Your chin implant can be reviewed and a revision rhinoplasty should be discussed.

You could have immense help with the chin with Peralne filler.
Perlane, a long lasting hyaluronic acid filler, has proven to be an extremely reliable filler for chin volume. Without surgery, you can easily have 1 to 2 years of treatment benefit from an office filler service for this area. Is this filler better than a chin implant. It is my opinion that there is no comparison. Chin implants are fixed and provide limited potential for chin augmentation. Fillers provide much more organic volume options. I would advise...
