I'm 25. Had a septoplasty/turbinate reduction in 2007 but my nose is still deviated and one side remains about 50% obstructed. I am strongly considering a septorhinoplasty to finally address my deviated septum and I wonder if adding chin augmentation will create any complications/significantly worsen recovery? I have never done cosmetic surgery before but I am unhappy with my side profile and I want to address my recessed chin due to long face syndrome/mouth breathing as an adolescent.
