A rhinoplasty would help refine your nose. This can be performed in closed fashion without a visible scar. A chin implant can be performed through an internal or an external incision.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
Hi LBS,You would definitely benefit from rhinoplasty. I would have to decide on chin augmentation after examining you. Choose your rhinoplasty surgeon most carefully. Good luck and be well.Dr. P
In general, rhinoplasty combined with chin augmentation yields a fantastic result that patients are generally very happy with. A rhinoplasty can soften the appearance of the nose, and a chin implant would complement the procedure nicely. I would recommend a consult with a board certified rhinoplasty specialist. He or she will be able to evaluate your nose in person and provide you with advice. Computer imaging software may be used, where your surgeon can morph a photo of you. This will give you an idea of how the final result of surgery may appear, and serves as a fantastic communication tool between you and your prospective surgeon. I hope this information helps, and I wish you the best of luck.
YES! But always best to seek a few in person consultations from boarded surgeons in your area... I would usae a small chin implant bTW...
You have a nose that is too large for your face. You have chin that is too small for your face. Reduction of nose and enlargement of chin will balance your face. You are right on in your assessment. Have a rhinoplasty and chin implant.
Your chin and nose need to be in balance for there to be balance between the middle and lower portions of your face. In your case, a rhinoplasty and a genioplasty (not an implant) would be the best choices to balance your face. In addition to more projection, your chin needs vertical length, which is not possible to do with an implant alone.
The areas you are concerned about are frequently improved with a rhinoplasty as well as a chin implant. Whether you should have the procedures is a personal decision only you can make. Additional information about the procedures will help you decide what if anything you may want to pursue. In general, chin implants produce a more permanent result than fillers.Following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do based on limited 2 dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling the 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. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon with extensive nasal surgery experience who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon (ENT) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California
Both are fine options for you. Considering your profile, fine refinement of the nose and mild-moderate increase in projection of the chin would be a good combination. I'm not able to see the chin on the frontal view. Occassionaly, assymetry at the chin cannot be corrected by an implant, instead a sliding genioplasty would help to improve this feature.
When there is an overly projecting nose and under projecting chin present, the combination of rhinoplasty and chin implant gives better facial balance. De-projecting the nose with hump removal and shaving down excess cartilage will reduce the nose while adding a Silastic chin implant would give better projection to the chin.
I suggest that you do the Rhinoplasty first, then see if you need the chin implant, you may be happy without it. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.
The columella can be straightened but the cause of the crooked appearance must be identified. Usually a graft can be placed in the columella to help straighten and support the columella. You should see a rhinoplasty for consultation to see if you're a good candidate for surgery.
Conventionally, your nose will need septorhinoplast. However, if you don't have functional nasal obstruction, a conservative method of cartilaginous grafting or permanent filler to the right side and the dorsum will significantly improve your nasal harmony.
Thanks for your question. I don’t make a point of taping the nose after a Kenalog injection. I don’t think it would do any harm to do so, though. I agree that it’s best to stick with the protocol your facial plastic surgeon likes to follow, so touch base with him/her. Goo...
