I'm looking improve my profile, and I know my chin is weak, and I'm wondering if a rhinoplasty and sliding genioplasty would work, or if I should start with the genioplasty, and ballpark what the cost might be?
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 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. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Would a rhinoplasty and sliding genioplasty improve my profile? Hello and thank you for your question. I believe you are a good candidate for both rhinoplasty and a chin implant. In terms of your nose, you benefit from dorsal hump reduction. Adding a chin implant will bring more harmony to your face, makes your nose looking less projecting, and improves the jawline contour and the fullness under the chin. My best advice is that you discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals with a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in performing rhinoplasty. I would ask to see before and after pictures of their real patients. It's important that you trust your surgeon's skills and ability to achieve the results you are looking for. In particular, pay attention to your surgeon's experience with rhinoplasty. Best, Pejman Aflaki, M.D. Johns Hopkins-trained double board-certified plastic surgeon

Answer: Closed Atraumatic Rhinoplasty Hello, Thank you for your question. Based on your limited view you may benefit from the dorsal hump removal and probably augmentation of the radix for a nice forehead nose pass. Since a nose is a 3 dimensional structure the nose should be harmonised from all sides. For your chin you may benefit either from the chin implant which is hard when you touch, or fat injection which is softer for touch. Both surgeries and possible breathing issues can be addressed in one surgery. Natural noses which suit each patients unique facial features are achievable thanks to the Closed Atraumatic rhinoplasty which protects the anatomy of the nose, strengthens the weak parts, reduces the swelling and prevents tissue damage. The healing process is accelerated as well. It is possible to achieve a scar free, defined and significantly reduced noses without opening the nose and compromising the functional issues with the Closed Atraumatic Technique.

Answer: Rhinoplasty You appear to be a good candidate fir rhinoplasty. Options fir the chin include either a chin implant or sliding genioplasty. the chin implant is far simpler and more surgeons are comfortable with chin implants compared to the sliding genioplasty.
