I am getting my nose done because I have a bulbous tip and it droops when I smile. Should I add a chin implant also or is it prominent enough? I'm also nervous having a silicone piece in my face in case it moved or got infected!
Answer: Nose or Chin? Thank you for providing photos. It is understandable to have some concerns, and if you are unsure of whether you would like a more permanent solution, there are other options. I would recommend getting filler to the chin to see if it gives you the results you desire. If you like the look of the added filler, you can then transition to a more permanent option, such as the implant. You did also mention that your nose droops when you smile. There is a muscle that needs to be clipped in order to reduce the appearance of the nose drooping. I do perform this procedure, but there are few surgeons who do. I would recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes in facial procedures to assess your case and provide you with a treatment plan that is right for you.

Answer: Should You Get a Chin Implant With Your Rhinoplasty? The photos provided do not show a lateral view, which is the best way to determine if a chin implant should be considered. If this has been suggested to you in consultation, I suspect that your Surgeon felt it may be indicated. Although chin implants are commonly performed at the same time as a Rhinoplasty, some patients are comfortable with the concept and other are not. After seeing multiple before and afters, you will be the one to determine if the combination is right for you. If you decide against an implant, it is a procedure that can easily be performed at a later date.

Answer: Chin implant with rhinoplasty It does appear your profile may benefit from a small or medium size chin implant to balance the profile aesthetics. The time to perform the chin implant is in conjunction with your nasal surgery so you just have "one recovery". Silicone implants have low infection rate and I think the aesthetic benefit outweighs the risk.

Answer: Submitted phographs are insufficient to make that determination Subtle chin enhancements can have substantial benefit to rhinoplasty. However your photos do not provide needed information. Physical evaluation of face at time of consultation is more meaningful than just photos. Let your surgeon be the guide and not the internet.
