Chin Implant and Nose Job to Change my Profile. Is This Realistic?

asked 1 year ago by ckstarlet in Japan

Tags: chin, nose, female

I've always hated my profile. My retracted chin always bothered me and then my nose started bothering me as well. So I've done this on photoshop, and wanted to know if the result I want is realistic? Also I'm half asian/caucasian, so my nose looks caucasian on the side but on the front it's pretty round. Also I'd appreaciate it if anyone could give me an average cost for everything. Thanks.

Beautiful results from rhinoplasty combined with chin implant!

You did a fantastic job with the imaging of your photograph!!  ...and yes, you would be an excellent candidate for a rhinoplasty combined with a chin implant.  Many patients seeking rhinoplasty may be surprised to learn that their chin plays an important role in the overall balance of your facial appearance. It gives you an advantage that you are already aware of how important this facial harmony is.  People usually only look at themselves from the front, and it is onl more

Treatment of recessed chin and round nose

Your photoshop result appear realistic to me. Improvement of your chin can be done with either a chin implant or sliding genioplasty. The later involves making bone cuts in the chin, advancing it forward and plating it in position. An implant can be placed using just local numbing medicine (if you want). Cost varies depending on which technique and type of anesthesia is used, but chin augmentation alone starts at around $3000. There are multiple options for improving a rounded nasal... more

Improving profile with chin implant and nose job

A retrusive chin is best addressed with a silastic chin implant. The incision for this is located underneath the submental crease and the implant is placed directly over the bone. If done as a stand-alone procedure, it costs between $2500-$3000. It can be combined with a rhinoplasty procedure if desired. The cost of a rhinoplasty is between $6000-$6500. The rhinoplasty is typically done under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure in a certified ambulatory surgery center.  ... more

Chin implant to help improve nasal appearance

Hi Japan in Japan, Yes, you've provided a realistic potential result with chin implant augmentation. Computer imaging of facial plastic surgery is performed routinely for rhinoplasty patients. However, as I tell patients, computer simulation cannot guarantee results. Rhinoplasty surgeons will commonly discuss the chin as part of overall facial balance during the rhinoplasty consultation. Chins typically need to be augmented to improve the nasal appearance. Chin surgery... more

Nose and chin aka profiloplasty

You did an excellent job on the photoshop imaging. Yes I beleive that results comparable to the ones you have illustrated are possible. Costs will range widely and will vary from about the lowest at 6000 USD top 12,000 USD.

A chin implant would change your profile dramatically in a very favorable way

Looking at your profile photos, you a an excellent candidate for a extended chin implant. I believe you photo shop is right on. I would however consider a slightly larger implant to bring your chin a little more. As to the indications for a rhinoplasty, I am not so sure you need one. Your nose will look remarkably smaller when your chin is implanted. I think you need to have more photos to evaluate your nose but my bet is you don't probably need any thing done to your nose.  ... more

Definite yes!

This is one of my favorite procedures to do for patients. They still look like themselves (not overdone) but so much more balanced in proportion. It really looks good. In your case, the nose is subtle on profile--not as dramatic a change will result. But that is OK--you will love the chin. I prefer the porous polyethylene implants--the pores make up 70% of the implant --meaning your own tissue will grow into the implant and thus the implant will be mostly you. They are also easily... more
