Can I get chin augmentation at the same time as a rhino/septoplasty? Will recovery be worse if the procedures are combined?

For optimal cosmetic results a rhinoplasty with a chin augmentation procedure would dramatically change your profile and add balance to your lower face. With regard to recovery, adding a chin implant will not change your recovery time. It typically takes a couple of weeks to heal following chin augmentation and several months to a year to heal following rhinoplasty. These procedures are commonly performed together and can have a dramatic effect on a person's profile. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

Thank you for posting your question. Chin augmentation and rhinoplasty are often done together. The effect on recovery depends mostly on whether or not an implant is used vs. cutting and moving the bone. That depends on surgeon preference as well how much projection is needed.
