I think my nose is too wide. I like my nose from a side view but I think is too wide on the front. Also, I have a recessive chin, if I have fillers or an implant will it make my face look better? My face is very round also.

Answer: Will a chin implant enhance face (front and profile view)? (photos) From your photos I do think that a chin implant would offer a really nice improvement for you. I've posted a video below so that you can see how to determine whether you are a chin implant candidate. The key question is whether you proceed with a chin implant, which is a cosmetic surgery that is quite straightforward for an experienced surgeon or pursue the alternative, a sliding genioplasty, addresses your bite while changing your chin position. The alternative, a sliding genioplasty, addresses your bite while changing your chin position. If you wish to have your teeth realigned you are best served by seeing an oral surgeon in consultation. If your concerns are cosmetic and enhancing your chin to bring it in to balance with your other features--then a chin implant is the way to go. You will find that rhinoplasty surgeons tend to have extensive experience with chin implantation because it is such a frequently performed procedure in conjunction with rhinoplasty. The incision can be made through the skin or through the mouth but i prefer to do it inside the mouth because it has minimal discomfort and is invisible without any external evidence of scar. My patients tend to be very happy with this approach. I hope that information is helpful! I hope that helps!

Answer: Nose and Chin Computer imaging will show whether chin augmentation would be of benefit from the side view. If you undergo chin augmentation make sure that the implant creates a more tapered chin from the front view. This will complement a rhinoplasty that also makes your nose less wide.
