I am in need of a chin implant and nose job since I have a receding chin and an over projected nose. I won't be able to have these procedures done at the same time by the same surgeon because I have a highly skilled facial plastic surgeon picked out to do my nose but he doesn't perform chin implants which would require me to find another surgeon to do my chin. Now I'm wondering in what order would it be best to do these two procedures? They would be done several months apart.
Answer: Chin and Nose Thank your for supplying your picture. In my opinion, you would benefit from a chin implant or a sliding genioplasty and a rhinoplasty at the same operation. If you feel you need to have two separate operations then I would recommend getting your nose done first. With better nasal contour, this may require a lesser chin surgery or obviate the need for chin surgery altogether. Please seek consultation from board certified plastic surgeons or facial plastic surgeons for the most accurate recommendations.

Answer: Chin implant & nose job done separately in what order? Hello jmm124567,Thanks for your question.It seems unusual that your facial plastic surgeon chosen to perform rhinoplasty doesn't perform chin implant procedures as they often go together. That being said, since you have set your mind on this particular rhinoplasty surgeon, it makes sense to find another surgeon to perform your chin implant. While it is difficult to coordinate two surgeons, it is possible to have two surgeons operate on you the same day to have one recovery.Otherwise, there is no particular reason to order your procedures in any particular way. Good luck,Dr. Shah

Answer: Nose, chin or both Based on your photo you would do best having both nose surgery and chin implant done in one surgery. It should not be that difficult to find surgeon who is experienced in both procedures? Why don't you seek a second consult by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon?If you still insist on "one at the time approach" I would suggest chin surgery to be done first. Good luck.

Answer: Seperate Rhinoplasty and Chin Surgery Since these procedures are usually done at the same time and by the same surgeon to get the best harmony you are not going to find any scientific evidence as to which surgery should be done first. Having 2 surgeries by 2 separate surgeons will require 2 recoveries, would be more expensive and there could be a disconnect in the aesthetic goals of the 2 surgeons. I find out highly unusual that a qualified rhinoplasty surgeon does not do a genioplasty. Specially at your age and considering the shape of your chin a sliding osteotomy could be a better choice.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and Chin Augmentation When rhinoplasty and chin augmentation can not be done together, the biggest concern/deformity should be done first. Which bothers you the most should guide your decision. In looking at your one picture, your chin deficiency seems to be greater than that of the nose.
