Rhinoplasty and chin augmentation in Europe? (photos)

Question

I've been extremely insecure about my appearance for as long as I can remember and I've concluded that it has to to with my nose and jaw/chin area. I'd probably need rhinoplasty and some sort of chin/jaw augmentation. Please let me know your opinion :) So I'm looking for a very experienced doctor within Europe (not in Norway as surgeons here are very inexperienced with this) that would be able to perform this for me. I've added some pics of how I look now and how I'm picturing my ideal result.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can
accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your
lower nose. Cartilage grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement.
You may also benefit from a cephalic rotation of your tip to turn up your tip
slightly and a conservative dorsal hump reduction.  You can also have a chin implant placed at the same time.  I recommend a medpor implant with screw fixation.  Silicone implants tend to undergo malrotation over time.  Make sure you specifically look at before and after
pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon
and not just a computer animation system. The most important
aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek
consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate
you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Hi and thanks for submitting your photos.Based on them for your nose a nasal hump and bone reduction should be done.Your nasal tip should be reshaped.In my opinion you need a jaw implant but it should be a small and medium size.Please consult with a surgeon who is board certified and has experience on chin surgeries.Good luck...

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.In this regard, I suggest perform a Closed Rhinoplasty (without visible scars) to treat the tip, base and nasal bridge.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Thanks for your email inquiry. I recommend an in person consultation with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon. In terms of geographic proximity it us generally recommended that your surgeon be relatively close do that proper follow up and post operative care can be ensured. Best of luck to you.

It does seem that both procedures would be appropriate for you and that you have realistic expectations.Your best bet would be to search the ECAMS website/membership and search for a qualified rhinoplasty specialist near you. Good luck.
