Should I consider a rhinoplasty revision or would a chin implant help me achieve a more balanced look?

Question

My nose appears rather large, but given that I already had a prior rhinoplasty and thus the procedure might be complicated, would I be a good candidate for a chin implant?

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

Your photograph is very limited.  However, you would certainly benefit from a chin implant.  In terms of a rhinoplasty, I would need additional photographs to give you a more accurate answer.

Based on this photo, it appears that lowering of nose dorsum would help. The addition of a chin implant will definitely improve the balance of your profile. Both of these procedures can be done in the same surgery. Good luck.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

From the one limited photograph, you have an overly projecting nose and an under projecting chin. A closed rhinoplasty revision can accomplish shaving down the residual dorsal hump, and slightly de-projecting the nose. Placement of a chin implant would accomplish Augmenting your chin forward for better facial balance and proportions, especially with respect to the projection of your nose from the side profile. A revision rhinoplasty is performed under general anesthesia, while placement of a chin implant can be performed under local anesthesia.

There are a lot of variables to take in the consideration when doing a facial assessment. If somebody’s had previous surgery that ideally, we should see before and after pictures. Chin augmention can be helpful if the chin is weak to give a more balanced appearance, especially if the nose looks large and projected.
I suggest having a few in person, consultations with local plastic surgeons or oral surgeons. Can implant or sliding genioplasty may both be appropriate procedures. Both operations have certain advantages and disadvantages.
