Hello, I would love to shorten the vertical height of my forehead, nose and philtrum. Would a forehead reduction, rhinoplasty (to shorten the nose), and a bullhorn upper lip lift, help me accomplish my goals of making my forehead and middle of my face appear less long vertically? I am on the hunt to find a doctor who has experience with all three of these procedures :)

Answer: #highforehead Before you do any of those procedures you should have computer imaging performed to see how you would like the possible combination of procedures. With the anterior hairline lowered the forehead height will be diminished and the nose may not look too long. You would have decide if you prefer hairgrafting or scalp advancement surgery to accomplish this. Your current nose upper lip angle is about 95degress. Shortening the nose will increase the angle but if you decide to do so it should be very conservative with only a few degree increase in the angle to avoid a snout look with highly visible nostrils. The upper lip lift you describe can leave unsightly scars if performed at the lip margin and be insufficient in horizontal length if placed directly under the nose. Your vertical lower facial height is less than the mid and upper facial heights and can be more balanced with a chin implant but you should make that decision after seeing computer imaging of the possible differences with and without various implant sizes.I hope you realize that this format of posting questions and receiving answers lacks the face to face direct communication required for you to make an informed decision regarding your surgery.

Answer: Candidate for chin implant. It's important not to shorten the nose since you'll be looking up your nostrils and it will be very piggish. We also do not recommend upper lip lifts. Consider a chin implant for the weak and recessive chin profile. For more information and many examples of chin implants, please see the link and the video below

Answer: Facial proportions and beauty Proportion and harmony between the different sections of our faces is a major determinant of beauty. I do believe you are absolutely correct in your assessment that your forehead is high and takes up a bit too much of the "real estate" of your face, and a scalp advancement to shorten your forehead would be very beneficial. The incision would have to be meticulously planned and executed to minimize the scar, as your hair seems to flow away from the forehead, but this maneuver would indeed go a long way towards enhancing the balance between the upper 1/3 of your face and the mid face/lower face. In terms of your nose, I believe that your nose is actually of an appropriate length. What is making it seem a bit long in your view is that your chin (the lower 1/3 of your face) is actually where much of the problem lies. It is short on frontal view, and regressed on profile view. In other words, I believe that you would benefit greatly from a chin augmentation, with either implants or through a genioplasty, and this procedure would go a long ways to achieving the proportionality between the different parts of your face that you desire. An interesting exercise for you to do is to break up your face into thirds - this is a concept in art known as the "rule of thirds" wherein the face is horizontally divided into thirds. Use horizontal lines to divide your face into segments beginning with the area between the hairline to the eyebrows (upper 1/3), from the brow to the base of the nose (the middle 1/3), and from the base of the nose to the chin (the lower one-third). In most aesthetically idealized faces these areas are approximately even. If you do this you will see that the main outlier is the lower third of your face, and this is why a chin modification may be so useful for you. The use of computer imaging and morphing software is very useful when planning chin and nose surgery, and I use this routinely as a means of communicating and demonstrating the desired outcome of surgical interventions for these 2 structures. Best of luck!
