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: 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.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and chin augmentation The side profile photographs demonstrate an overly projecting nose and an under projecting chin. Th under projection of the Chin makes your nose look larger than it really is from the side profile photograph. Consider a closed rhinoplasty to shave down the dorsal hump, reduce the projection of the nose, refine the nasal tip and narrow the bridge line with all the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. Also consider placement of a chin implant to augment the chin forward for better facial balance and proportions. In our practice, we use Implantech brand of solid silicone chin implants placed through submental approach. The chin implant can be performed at same time as the rhinoplasty under general anesthesia, or as a stand alone procedure under local anesthesia.
