Would chin augmentation alone will be sufficient to effectively "deproject" the nose on profile view? Can the bulbous tip also be reduced even though my nose has somewhat thick skin? The nose appears a little short on profile view. How does this influence the procedure? Finally, can the slight asymmetry in the frontal view be corrected as well?

Answer: Would chin augmentation effectively deproject this nose? (photos) Good question! It is difficult to assess from your pictures but in someone who has a weak chin, a chin implant can effectively make the face look more proportional. It is possible to refine the tip in patients with thicker skin and there are different techniques to make the nose look longer on profile view. I'd recommend consultation with a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon. He or she can talk about the specific options and goals of surgery, as well as review imaging of what can and can't be done. Hope this helps!

Answer: Rhinoplasty and Chin Augmentation Any form of chin augmentation will change how one sees the size of the nose. Computer imaging can demonstrate that to you. But it will not improve the thickness of the nasal tip or any asymmetries of the nose...issues which are not appreciated in the profile view which is most frequently used int computer imaging. Combining rhinoplasty and chin augmentation is common and powerful profile changing surgery. The change in the chin may affect certain aspects of how the rhinoplasty is done in terms of making the nose smaller or deprojecting the tip.
