What can I do about my nose and my chin?

Question

I am very insecure about my nose. It is not the profile that bothers me as much as it is the width and lack of definition as well as its asymmetry. I am also super insecure about the folds around my nose and lips. My chin bothers me because it has such a big dimple and is lopsided. What surgeries could fix these problems>\?

Dear Maddly,For a better balance to the facial features and a better profile you need chin implant. the procedure is usually done with rhinoplasty . For the nose, the skin looks a bit thick and it needs shaping.

John Layke, DO, FACS · Answer

After reviewing your photos and reading your concerns, I believe that you are a candidate for a rhinoplasty with a chin augmentation.  This combination procedure will lead to better facial balance and aesthetics.  I recommend consulting with a Board-Certified plastic surgeon who will accurately examine your nose, create a simulation based on what your nose could look like after surgery, and develop a plan that is tailored to your individual needs.  Best wishes!

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.In this regard, I suggest perform a Closed Rhinoplasty (without visible scars) to treat the tip, base and nasal bridge. Also a chin implant to harmonize your facial features. Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Dear maddly0822I agree that a refinement rhinoplasty to shape your nose and de-emphasize it and to help draw attention to your eyes and brows would be a positive move. I think a small chin implant can bring balance to your face but make sure you dont go with a large implant. it will detract from your looks and youthful face.

A rhinoplasty to reduce your dorsum a bit and refine your tip would be nice.  For your chin it may be possible to use some fat grafting to reduce the prominence of your dimple and correct the asymmetry.

It appears that you have thick skin in the nose.  It can be very challenging to achieve definition in the nasal tip in cases of thick nasal skin. A tip plasty can certainly help but was never give you a very fine nasal tip.The chin dimple can be corrected using Fillers or a chin implant in some cases.The nasolabial fold skin be also corrected with fillers.RegardsDr. J

Hello,Thank you for your questions and photos. I believe there are surgical treatments which will give you the improvement you are looking for but keep your features natural and attractive. I recommend that you book an in-person consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area who specialises in these procedures. I wish you all the best!

I don't believe either your nose or chin is very far from normal.  A subtle change would be all I would suggest.  For both nose and chin 3D photographic imaging can be very helpful in defining what you want.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

The issue that you will have with a rhinoplasty is that it looks like your tissues are pretty thick. This will limit your ability to get significant refinement in the tip Good luck.

First of all, don't be too hard on yourself - you have many attractive facial features!  In regards to your nose, you may like a tip rhinoplasty with the goal of narrowing your tip width - the surgeon needs to be cautious not to increase your tip rotation because it is already slightly over-rotated as seen on your profile view.  In regards to your chin, I agree that you are a little bit underprojected and may like the results of a chin augmentation.  You have some mild asymmetry in the chin and often a chin implant can be modified to help fix this.
