Is my nose completely correctable and will wearing a helmet be possible with jaw/chin implants?
Answer: Rhinoplasty for a football player? As long as you were able to not have contact sports for at least 4 to 6 weeks after surgery then a rhinoplasty could give you a more attractive nose. You did not need chin or jaw implants. A chance in implant will actually make you look worse.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and Chin Augmentation Rhinoplaslty and chin augmentation would be beneficial based on the photographs you provided. If you are a collage or professional athlete, then of course there is always some risk that you might re-injure the nose or possibly suffer a severe enough injury to displace the implant. I think that with about 6 weeks of healing, it is however unlikely. Unprotected sports like soccer, baseball, and basketball probabaly have a higher risk of injury to the nose, but you just need to weigh the risk.

Answer: Rhinoplasty candidate, some advices: Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.In this regard, I suggest perform a Closed Rhinoplasty (without visible scars) to treat the tip, base and nasal bridge.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Extreme sports as football are suspended for the first 3-4 months post op to avoid unnecesary risks. Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: Rhinoplasty and chin implant candidate A rhinoplasty procedure can accomplish straightening the crooked nose. This is accomplished with osteotomies placed in the nasal bones, and a spreader graft placed on the concave side in the midportion of the nose. The dorsal hump can also be shaved down and the projection of the nose decreased. A Silastic chin implant can be inserted through a submental approach to give added projection to the chin to help with facial balance in proportions, especially with respect to the overly projecting nose from the side profile. Chin implants are manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes which is determined at the time of the consultation and examination. Rhinoplasty is a very difficult endeavor, so choose your rhinoplasty surgeon very wisely based on extensive experience. It is best not to have any contact sports for at least 6-8 weeks after the procedure. For many examples and more information, please see the link and the video below

Answer: How Will Pressing on or Striking My Face Affect a Rhinoplasty or Chin Implant Hello,Great Questions. You definitely can wear a helmet after having a chin implant. However, you will need to wait at least a few weeks. A chin implant, once settled, will not move short of anything except breaking your jaw. This would take at least 4 weeks, but you might wait 8 to be safe. However, it tends to be that pressing on a chin after chin implant is uncomfortable for several more months. Perhaps in your case not, or perhaps you can just work through it. As far as the nose. You will want to be very careful about striking your nose after a rhinoplasty. Your nose will take at least 2 months for the bones to be reasonably solid, but even at that, a descent hit can break things loose. Of course, wearing a helmet is supposed to keep balls, knees, elbows, etc from hitting your nose. However, helmets occasionally get yanked off and then there are practice drills where no helmet is worn. You must consider these things.Best of Luck,Dr. AAustin, TX
