Hello, so I’m considering one of the three mentioned above procedures. Based off the photos I have attached, what would be my best and cheapest option?? I also was wondering if maybe I have a “week jaw” from what I’ve read, that can cause the chin to kind of fall back.
Answer: Why a chin implant may be right for you Thank you for your question and photo. You may benefit from a chin implant to bring your facial features into balance. A weak chin can make the nose appear larger, which is why the added projection from a chin implant would promote symmetry and create a well-defined jawline contour. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to assess your concern and determine the best treatment option to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Answer: Your nose and chin: Your nose and chin: in the photo you show, you appear to have an over projecting nose and a slightly weak chin. The over projection of the nose makes the chin look even weaker. If a nose over projects, the projection should be reduced. Filler does not reduce, but adds to the size of the nose. In my opinion, a Rhinoplasty concentrating on reducing the projection of the nose combined with some long acting filler to the chin, which could use some augmentation, would be the way to go. Good luck.

Answer: Rhinoplasty surgery + Chin implant Hello! Thank you for your question.I have evaluated your case from the photo you provided. I highly recommend you a chin implant surgery combined with rhinoplasty surgery.Your chin is very weak and back. You need more projection. If you get only rhinoplasty surgery, it would change a lot of course on your face but with chin implant believe me your face will have more projection. You will have a more defined face shape. Best regards!

Answer: You would benefit from a rhinoplasty. For certain, leave the chin alone! More... Heavens! You have a gorgeous, strong chin. It needs nothing. It projects forward nicely. If the chin *looks* weak-ish to you, it might be because your nose is a bit strong in its forward projection away from your face. If the nose has strong projection, it makes the chin look weaker. Similarly if someone truly does have a weak chin, it might make a great nose look too projecting. It's a balance, get it? Seems to me the goal on you would be to lower the little bump on the bridge of the nose, and then bring the tip and entire nose back closer to your face. How *much* to elevate the tip, or deproject the nose, or make other changes? We figure that out with morphs, well before surgery. I'd love for you to see some excellent professionally-designed morphs of what could possibly be done with your nose. Morphs could also help you identify better just what's bothering you, and help you set a goal for the rhinoplasty that's accurate for your tastes. Profile and three-quarter views would be particularly important in morphing your nose. (Side note: in my opinion, morphs should really be done by the surgeon, or he should direct an assistant as she makes the morphs. Morphs should be made with a constant eye to what actually *can* be done in surgery, for that particular nose, and the surgeon has that information and judgment best.) Finally, remember that rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. The changes that your nose needs, particularly the movement of the tip back closer to the face, require advanced techniques, and skill that most plastic surgeons don't possess with expertise. For most noses, it's much better to not have surgery than to have inexpertly-performed surgery. Read my essay on how to stay out of trouble while selecting a rhinoplasty surgeon. And it also discusses how to take photos that are best for online evaluations. And for those who have had previous surgery, it also discusses how to tell whether your first surgeon should be performing your revision.

Answer: You may be a candidate for isolated neck liposuction. Based on your photo, you appear to have an overprojected nasal appearance. That means the lower 1/3 of your nose sticks out a bit too far. If you do not have severe dissatisfaction with the appearance of your nose, it may be best not to undergo rhinoplasty surgery. Your jawline may be poorly defined due to excess fatty deposits under your chin. Depending on your examination, neck liposuction may be considered for improving your jawline. A small chin implant may be considered as well. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
