Hi, I’m having issues with the convexity of my face and how all the focus of my side profile goes to my nose. I’ve been wanting a rhinoplasty, but am wondering if I could gain a balanced face with the addition of a chin or jaw augmentation. My forehead feels receding too, but I’m not sure if that can be fixed. Overall, I just want less focus on my nose and a less convex profile. Any advice is much appreciated.

Answer: Rhinoplasty vs chin augmentation Hello. Looking at your profile, it appears your dorsum (bridge) and tip are somewhat over projected (standing too far forward). It’s a bit risky to try to bring your chin contour forward to be in balance with your tip position as you’d likely have both a nasal tip and a chin that now protrude unnaturally. My feeling is a proper reduction in dorsal prominence and tip prominence would create better facial harmony and a better nose/chin relationship. As an exercise, you can place a pencil between the tip of your nose and your chin and your upper lip should be about 2mm behind the pencil and lower lip about 4mm. Hope this helps

Answer: Your nose, chin, and for head: Your nose, chin, and forehead: your analysis is very perceptive and is correct. Your nose projects too far forward. Your chin is slightly weak, and your forehead recedes backwards. The over projecting nose makes the chin look even weaker and put the other way around the weak chin and receding forehead point all vectors to the middle of the face and the nose which is the most projecting part. Reduction in the size of the nose would be the most obvious thing to do and have the most impact in bringing your features into better harmony. A small chin augmentation aimed at increasing the forward projection of the chin would also help.
