I booked a private consulation with an orthodontist, they said I have an average overbite, and apprently this isnt something that needs correcting. I am getting braces however to fix a cross bite, but I never noticed my profile view until recently, and im really shocked by it, my nose seems to have grown, its only 4.5cm but it sticks out equal to the length almost, and I dont know if I have a weak chin, it is just small, im 22 will it grow anymore? I feel I look really young from the side.
Answer: Chin implant or rhinoplasty
You could consider a chin implant if you are looking for more projection of your chin. A careful preoperative assessment to gauge what level of change you like is vital. I find that computer morphing greatly enhances this part of the consultation.

Answer: Chin Augmentation as an adjunct to Rhinoplasty or nose surgery
it is not unusual to get a chin augmentation or Geneoplasty at the time of Rhinoplasty, in order to balance the facial proportions, especially in the profile view. lengthening of the chin and advancing it forward will make the nose look less prominent. At the same time reduction of a large nose will make a recessed chin not look so small.

Answer: Chin Implant and Rhinoplasty Hi there. A “strong” and well-defined jaw and chin have traditionally been attractive physical traits. As such, some patients present with concerns about a weak or recessed chin.A more aesthetic chin may be achieved by placement of a chin implant. Interestingly, a balanced chin improves overall facial appearance and may actually influence nasal projection.For example, a weak chin may increase the severity of an overprojected nose.Good overall medical health, as well as realistic expectations, are necessary. It is also key to understand all aspects of the surgery and aftercare. A pleasing, balanced profile can be achieved by inserting an implant to augment a weak chin, resulting in improved facial harmony.Hope this is helpful. Best wishes.

Answer: Rhinoplasty or chin implant
A retrusive chin is best treated with a small chin implant, which is placed through a submental incision and on to the bone. It is positioned underneath the periosteum of the bone and underneath the skin and muscle. Since it is made of silastic and tapered in shape, it is not palpable.

Answer: Am I A good Candidate for rhinoplasty and chin implant
You should be examined by a board certified plasic surgeon to make the final determination. However you certainly "look" like you have a very strong lower jaw and a relatively small nose on the pictures. You should note that most people are not use to their appearance from the side and often are less than enthused about it despite the fact that they may look perfectly good. LAlso you should check with your dentist about your over bite. Note every overbite means that you have a short lower jaw. I would recommend that you see more than one plastic surgeon, especially if the first recommends surgery.
