Hello! Thank you for your question. From the photos you provided I can say that your chin is very behind than your nose. This image cause of the poor projection form the side profile. With chin implant and rhinoplasty, your side profile can be improve and you can achieve your goal. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!

Based on your profile photos, I feel as though the tip of your nose sticks out too far and that you have a piece of bone at the base of your nasal septum that is causing blunting of the angle between your nose and upper lip. Based on your profile, I would not suggest chin augmentation as a first treatment. Please consider Consulting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists so you could see what might be best for you moving forward. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

On your side profile I see several things, all minor, that may contribute to what you call looking "off." You are correct that your chin is slightly far back compared to your nose. While your nose may project slightly far, your dorsum connect to the upper face at a slightly lower point than normal, giving the appearance of a projecting nose and a dorsal hump. A straight on view would be able to let me know whether or not tip refinement would be necessary, but I think you would be a good candidate for a dorsal nasal graft, slight hump reduction, tip deprojection, and tip refinement. Likely would need to be done through an open approach although this is admittedly surgeon preference.

There is no doubt that is the nose who dominates your profile. Well planned and executed rhinoplasty would significantly improve your profile. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in rhinoplasty, is recommended. Good luck.

Your nose appears large for the face in the profile view and will improve with Reduction Rhinoplasty
Reduction rhinoplasty is the term used for making a big nose smaller. However it can have many components. 
1. Large as in sticking out on side view.
2. Large as in big tip
3. Wide nostrils
4. Wide bones in the front view.
5. Dorsal hump making it look big.
All these can be addressed together or separately depending on the individual situation.
