Hello, Female, hoping to have some consultations to amend a pollybeak deformity. As a child I had a broken nose and have had 1 rhinoplasty and 2 revisions. The last revision was over 10 years ago and has left hard scar tissue which I am hoping can be removed though I am wary of further procedures. I'm wondering if a genioplasty to lessen the prominence of my chin in profile would help balance my facial proportions. Thank you
