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: 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.
