I really dislike my profile. I know my nose is upturned and that I have a week chin. However, I am on a bit of a budget and would rather fix my chin now and wait on the nose. I have been researching different options. Fillers would get too expensive after awhile and although chin implants seem to have a lot of pros, I don't think I want an implant in my body. I am really interested in sliding genioplasty but am wondering if I'm a candidate and how much it can cost. Thanks

Answer: Sliding Genioplasty Thank you for the question. On a profile view your chin is only slightly set back. The chin at the base is slightly rounded in appearance. You would be a candidate, but I would not advance your chin too much, perhaps 4-6 millimeters at the most. if it was placed further than this, it would masculinize your lower 1/3 of your face. A small amount of lipectomy could be done just under the chin as well in order to enhance the jaw line a bit. The cost may vary from state to state, but you would need anesthesia for this procedure, and I routinely perform these in a surgery center for patient safety and sterility. While you may not like the appearance of your nose, the angulation is within normal limits for a caucasian female, and I like the shape of it as well. However, I understand and respect that each person has their own unique desires for their appearance.
