Is my chin too big for my face? Recommendations on looking more feminine? (photos)

Question

Im planning on getting a rhinoplasty after all the coronavirus stuff is over, but i read online usually people get a chin/jaw reduction when they get a rhinoplasty to balance things out. When i smile i feel like it’s very prominent and people usually point it out along with my nose. I also get asked if I’m trans or if I’m a guy and I’m not which makes me upset so if i could get a recommendation on what else i should get done to make myself look more feminine I would really appreciate it.

There is no doubt that you have larger, projected chin, which is in dis-balance with your face. Reduction of the chin should be a part of your surgery. It is difficult to discuss on nose surgery since these photos do not reveal much of nose condition. In person consultation with board certified plastic or ENT surgeon, expert in rhinoplasty, who has experience with chin reduction (less common procedure with nose surgery than chin augmentation), is recommended. Good luck.

Facial feminization is a group of procedures that help all women look more attractive.  Watch our video to learn more.I'd adjust your jaw, but there are other things that can be done to balance your face and help you look your best.A video consultation will give us the best chance to develop a solid plan.

Sims.thalia, Chin surgery is done with rhinoplasty about 20% of the time, most of the time it is augmented but sometimes the opposite. Hard to tell from the angles provided what would be of the most benefit. In general I recommend that you see an experienced plastic surgeon that specializes in only faces and has decades of experience. Make sure they average about 100 rhinoplasties a year and have plenty of good pre and post op photos. Don't be fooled by computer imaging, see the video and good luck!

By just these two pictures your concern about your chin size seems justified. It appears to actually be the bigger problem in terms of shape and size than that of your nose. The oversizing appears to be restricted to the chin and not the jawline behind it. While it is true that nose-chin surgery combinations are common, it is usually a chin augmentation with the rhinoplasty rather than a chin reduction. But chin reduction can be done as well, it is just a far less common nose-chin combination. It would be helpful for you to see these nose and chin changes by computer imaging.
