I'd love advice for how to balance my features. I have small features, with the exception of my nose, and a round face. I need an experts opinion on what procedure I could have done. I've thought about lip and/or chin fillers extensively but just recently thought of a septo-rhinoplasty as an option. I'm getting married and would love to be happy with my side profile before the wedding! Any advice is welcome.

Answer: Side profile improvement options? How to balance features? You do appear to be a good candidate for rhinoplasty. Adding some filler to your lips and chin (or a very small chin implant) would also enhance your profile and add some more balance. Best.

Answer: Side profile improvement options? How to balance features? The ideal aesthetic result should be individualized to achieve harmony with your other facial features and improve the areas that concern you. Nasal cosmetic surgery and a chin implant are frequently performed together in the appropriate patient. Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on two dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best interest. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. The extent and length of the procedure, cost, and the specific operative steps to achieve an ideal cosmetic result vary from patient to patient and would depend on the findings at your consultation examination.
