Would a nose job suit me?

Question

I have noticed that my chin is very long and I would like to have it shaved down. I'm not too sure about making it more stronger (chin implants), but I want to know if it could be smaller all together as in vertically and near the jaw line. The second thing is that I would like to have my nose ideally look like the photoshopped photo. Could I get both of those procedures done and look okay? Or would making my jawline (near my ear) more defined be possible and help? I just need solid opinions.

Rhinoplasty and vertical chin reduction will give you what you want. You do NOT need surgery for your mandibular angle.

Based on your photo you are a good candidate for a rhinoplasty and posterior jaw implant, possibly chin implant.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

What you ideally want is an intraoral sliding genioplasty that brings the chin forward and vertically shortens it at the same time. this will bring its level more in line with the rest of the jawline. Your lower nose cartilages are long so shortening them with a little tip rotation would be helpful for an improved nasal shape. Rhinoplasty and a sliding genioplasty can be done during the same surgery.

As I said in your previous post I think a chin implant will give you better definition and an improved chin contour. I doubt you will need a reduction in your chin but I have reduced the chin height and simultaneously placed a chin implant many times. I would need to examine you to clearly answer your question and describe options.

Hi, based upon the attached photos your chin is quite weak.  Chin augmentation, using a chin implant would add harmony and balance to the entire lower face however augmentation is anterior placed and not in the vertical dimension.  Similarly the nose can be refined using a Closed Rhinoplasty.  Hope this helps.
