What can I do to have a better side profile? (Photo)

Nasal cosmetic surgery and a chin implant are frequently performed together in the appropriate patient to improve the profile. The ideal aesthetic result should be individualized to achieve harmony with your other facial features and improve the areas that concern you. Whether a chin implant or temporary injectable flllers would be optimal depends on multiple factors including your desired outcome and personal anatomy. 

Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you what to do based on a two dimensional photo without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best interest. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or a facial plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. The extent and length of the procedure, cost, and the specific operative steps to achieve an ideal cosmetic result vary from patient to patient and would depend on the findings at your consultation examination.Robert Singer, M.D., FACS

Thank you for sharing your concern. A proper consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is a proper way to start. Based on one image, an appropriate sized chin implant may be helpful for you. This would make the jawline stronger and possibly more shaped if desired. Best wishes!
