You are a good candidate for a genioplasty. This is a permanent procedure that allows us to pretty much put your chin in whatever position you like. By bringing it slightly forward and down, this would create more definition to your jawline and add balance to your profile, all without the need...

The ability to raise the soft tissue of the chin from an intraoral approach is limited. Sometimes the soft tissue pad can be improved with a submental approach and chin tuck. Both approaches may be necessary. I would not recommend removal of the implant.

Hello ! Thank you for questionI don't want to wonder about this subject, it is done by taking all the importance (tests, examination) before the operation, which is completely independent about the nose and chin. Thank you ! regards
