I dislike my side profile. I feel my chin is weak and my nose is large. I don't know which bothers me most. Does my chin appear weak? If I got chin fillers would my nose look less large? Or would it still look large. I don't know if my nose sticks out of my face too much or if my weak chin makes it appear that way. My chin is also quite long so I would worry if chin fillers may make it look longer. Thank you
Answer: Rhinoplasty and Chin Augmentation Thank you for sharing your question about rhinoplasty and chin augmentation. Based on your photos, you have a very nice nose as is. If anything, you might consider a very conservative tip plasty to refine your nasal tip, which appears to slightly dive downwards. However, this is such a small change it may not be worth your while to undergo surgery. You are, however, an excellent candidate for a chin augmentation. While dermal fillers are one option to create volume in the chin area, I recommend considering a small chin implant. A well-placed chin implant will balance your profile nicely and offer more facial harmony. Commonly, rhinoplasty and chin implant procedures are performed at the same time, which will consolidate downtime. For more information about which treatments are right for you, I recommend consulting with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon.

Answer: Would you benefit from a chin implant/filler? Without an exam your question cannot be answered. You will need to see an Oral/Maxillofacial surgeon to see if othognathic surgery, genioplasty or using an implant is best for your specific case. It should be noted that patients with severely weak jaws or abnormally functioning jaws may be better treated with other facial surgery (orthognathic surgery), although a chin augmentation may be an option at a later time. These patients should seek the advice of a plastic surgeon to determine which course is right for them. Here is some information to help you make this decision: Candidates for Chin Augmentation - Patients whose chin profiles are weak but have normally functioning jaws are candidates for Chin Augmentation. Many of these candidates have used injectable fillers in the past to strengthen the protrusion of their chins, but are looking for a permanent solution. If you are one of these patients, then you are a likely candidate for chin augmentation
