I really don't like how my side profile looks when I smile and I feel that my nose sticks out too much. It's almost like it's "too sharp". I am wondering if I could possibly balance my face out by getting chin filler and some cheek filler? I have lip filler which I feel like does help however it needs to be removed and redone.
Answer: Nose-Chin balance Nose and chin balance definitely affects overall facial balance from both frontal and (especially) profile view. You would benefit from some augmentation of your chin, which would in turn help balance the relative proportions of your nose. The home run result, of course, would be both rhinoplasty and implant-based chin augmentation, however you would likely see benefit from filler to the chin alone as well. There is no harm in starting with that to see if it's a satisfactory change.

Answer: Rhinoplasty I would recommend a rhinoplasty and potentially a chin implant or osseous genioplasty (bony chin advancement). I am not a fan of injecting fillers throughout the face as we have MRI studies showing that the filler truly never goes away (it only loses its effect of pulling in large volumes of water). I would recommend seeing an American Board of Plastic Surgery certified plastic surgeon. Ideally, this surgeon would have completed a 6 year integrated plastic surgery residency program and a 1 year aesthetic fellowship accredited by The Aesthetic Society.

Answer: Chin augmentation + rhinoplasty Hi from Istanbul, thanks for this question. It looks like chin augmentation, either through an implant or injections with filler or fat, could help balance your overall look. Refining the slightly broad tip of your nose, without elongating it, and some degree of deprojection could also contribute positively. Additionally, shaving the hump just a bit and millimetrically raising the nasal root might enhance your profile significantly. Hope this helps!

Answer: Chin and nose... Based on your photos, your chin is a bit behind the bridge of the nose, so it looks short. While filler can be done to help some, and chin implant will give a permanent improvement of that area. The procedure can be done while you are awake and looks very natural. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.

Answer: Nose vs chin You have correctly figured out what bothers you about your profile. Your nose is not the issue but rather the harmony of your nose to your chin. Ideal female aesthetics have the chin and lower lip in alignment in profile. Your profile has your chin significantly behind your lower lip which puts too much focus on your nose. I’d start with chin filler to ensure you like that adjustment and if you do I’d then encourage consideration of a small chin implant for a more permanent change. I have several examples of both filler and implants on my insta (Drwheelerpsnw) that you could check out.
