I am considering both a rhinoplasty or jaw surgery. Rhinoplasty would be to straighten the bump on my nose but I am worried it will make my face look very flat due to my recessive jawline and slight overbite and I do quite like my nose from front on as it is defined. However I think jaw surgery is more expensive and dangerous? Which would be recommended to improve my side profile?

Answer: Side profile Dear liibbby, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos,it looks like you would benefit from rhinoplasty and chin augmentation or sliding genioplasty. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Facial Profile Surgery If you have no concerns about your bite relationship then the combination rhinoplasty and sliding genioplasty would be the best treatment. Your nose and chin are equal contributors in what you don't like about your profile with the nose hump being big and your chin projection too small. You are correct in that treating just one of them will still leave your profile with a less than satisfactory outcome.
