Would I benefit from a chin implant, or rhinoplasty to balance my face? (Photo)

You can start with just a chin implant. Your nose is cute with a nice upturn and there is really nothing wrong. If you want to reduce the general size of your nose and balance things, a chin implant can be done. We do those right in the office usually and they take only about 20 minutes. Watch our videos to learn more.

A chin implant can augment your chin forward for better facial balance and proportions. Augmenting your bridge line on your nose would also be helpful as well. Both procedures can be done together or separately. Digital computer imaging of both your chin and your nose would be helpful to understand what can be accomplished with either one or both procedures

From the profile view, the deepest point of the root of the nose is at the level of the lower eyelid edge. The normal position for this is at the edge of the upper eyelid, or at the crease of the upper eyelid. This can be improved with a cartilage graft to the bridge of the nose. A dorsal rhinoplasty can accomplish this goal. Alternately, a liquid rhinoplasty, which is filler in the bridge of the nose, could also provide improvement. (Make sure a facial plastic surgeon performs this.) The chin has mild weakness to the projection, which is fine in women. However, it is also reasonable to do a small chin implant. That being said, the dorsal rhinoplasty will improve the facial balance the most.
