Rhinoplasty and chin implant - Will they balance my side profile and make me look less tired? (photos)

Rhinoplasty or chin implant, or both? You do appear in profile to have a very weak chin. There is also a dorsal hump which makes the chin look even smaller. The small chin also makes the nose look larger. If you could only do one of the two procedures I believe that the chin detracts more from your profile than the nose. In other words if you did a chin implant I don’t think your nose would look that large, but if you did a rhinoplasty, your chin would still look too small. The best aesthetic change would come from doing both the rhinoplasty and chin implant in terms of the standard aesthetics. If you have difficulty breathing through the nose and are assessed as having a deviated septum, a septoplasty could be performed along with the rhinoplasty .

Based on these photos, you have correct approach to solving the mystery of your profile; next step should be in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in rhinoplasty. Good luck.

Many thanks for your question. As you have noted in your title, the elements of our face should harmonize which each other rather than stand on their own. From your picture, your chin does look a little setback which increases the perception relating to the size of your nose which is also accentuated by your profile suggesting a prominence. Each can be addressed on their own merits but I suspect the nose would take precedence in your scenario as you have concurrent airway issues. However, at the same sitting the chin can also be considered through a relatively straightforward implant. There are a variety of ways this can be demonstrated visually usually through electronic means before an operation is undertaken to give you an idea of potential changes which should help guide you further with your decision.
Best wishes. Philip Michael
