Mentalis Strain & bulbous nose advice

   Botox is the easiest and least invasive method for improving dimpling of the chin.  The nose can be manipulated to almost any extent and reducing a bulbous tip can be performed in closed fashion.   Both of these can be done for about $7000 or so.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

It sounds like you may have a recessive jaw that may make it difficult to close your lips easily (mentalis strain).  Your recessive chin may make your nose like a bit larger.  I would recommend you see a plastic surgeon that has experience with orthognathic (jaw) surgery or see an oral surgeon about your jaw and a plastic surgeon about your nose.  Your jaw surgery if necessary should be performed first this will change the relative appear of your nose.  Then the nose should be evaluated for treatment if necessary.
