Conscious about my nose which has a small hump, droopy nasal tip and is on the large side. I believe I have a weak chin(?) and would like to improve my jawline for a more defined look. I have a bit of fat around the chin/jaw even with the low overall total body fat percentage so would liposuction improve the definition of the jaw on its own, or only with a chin/jaw implant. I'm 27 have realistic expectations and just want a more attractive, natural, healthier appearance. thoughts and costs?

Answer: Facial evaluation Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a tip refining rhinoplasty, a cephalic rotation of your tip to turn up your tip slightly, and a conservative dorsal hump reduction. A chin implant with submental liposuction can be performed at the same time for improved jaw line contour. I always use a medpor implant with screw fixation, which stays in place over time. A silicone chin implant has a high rate of 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. You should be able to view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon. If you cannot find enough real before and after pictures, then consider continuing your search for a surgeon. Best wishes and good luck.

Answer: Rhinoplasty I definitely feel a rhinoplasty would be worthwhile for you. I would lower the bridge and raise the tip. The chin implant and lipo if the neck might give you a little more improvement but I’m not sure they are worth the added cost fir just a slight change.
