Which procedures would help balance out my facial features, with respect to the nose and chin/jaw? (photos)

Question

My nose appears wide and the bridge is too short. Would dorsal augmentation fix the way my nose looks from the side? It looks like a ski slope nose, especially when I smile. Or should I get rhinoplasty to make the tip smaller and get alar base reduction? My chin/jaw area is also disproportional, weak and asymmetrical. Would a sliding genioplasty increase the vertical length of my chin? I have a high forehead and feel like I need a stronger chin and jaw. Maybe jaw shaving? Thank you.

Changes that you have in mind are so subtle that only on the basis of in person consultation with a very experienced, board certified plastic surgeon, expert in facial rejuvenation, you can find some solutions. Good luck.

A closed rhinoplasty approach can accomplish narrowing your nasal bones with osteotomy's and building up your bridge line with either your own cartilage, or a synthetic implant. An alar plasty can accomplish and narrowing wide nostrils. No Chin worker is needed
