I am a 34 year old female. I have a septorhinplasty scheduled to correct my deviated septum and deproject my nose, but also have concerns about the lower portion of my face. I am 5’6” and weigh 115 lbs, but I have jowls and an overall appearance of facial fullness/ being bottom heavy. I am not sure what would best to permanently correct this issue- chin implant, sliding genioplasty, injectables, buccal or some other fat removal from the area- or some combination? Thanks,

Answer: Chin and jowls corection Based on your photos a combination of procedures should be considered. Your pointed chin doesn't need augmentation in particular considering your pending rhinoplasty which will improve your chin/nose balance. However, placement of chin implant which will widen your chin and fill depressions on the side of the chin in front of jowls will help (Mittelman pre jowl implant). Conservative liposuction of jowls should be part of this procedure.You should discuss these options with your plastic surgeon before your scheduled septorhinoplasty surgery since these procedures can be done in the same time. Good luck.

Answer: Chin implant and rhinoplasty candidate The photographs demonstrate an overly projecting nose, and an under projecting chin. Consider placement of a chin implant to bring the mandible forward to help with facial balance and proportions, especially with respect to the overly projecting nose. Chin implants are manufactured in a large variety of sizes and shapes, and are usually placed through an incision underneath the chin. A chin implant is very complimentary to a rhinoplasty procedure which will decrease the projection of the nose. Simple liposuction in the neck can also remove the fatty deposits in that location. For more information and many examples of this combination, please see the link and the video below
