I am female 18 year old and ive had braces before and i feel as if they played a big role with how my side profile looks. My jaw is very weak and i have difficulty having it close and i struggle breathing through my nose. Ive become very insecure and i no longer leave the house and avoid taking selfies. I really would like an answer.
Answer: I would advise chin augmentation and rhinoplasty Chin augmentation using implant or chin advancement surgery seems to be very helpful in improving the side profile. For the nose, it seems that hump reduction, radix augmentation, and tip plasty can bring good results. For functional problems, the surgical method can be determined after evaluation of the status of septum or turbinate after taking a CT scan at the clinic.

Answer: Rhinoplasty plus chin implant... Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for rhinoplasty. The bump can be straightened to give a nicer profile. At the same time, a chin implant can be placed that looks very natural. When all is said and done, the profile should look much better and straighter from the side. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.

Answer: Rhinoplasty? Septoplasty? Chin implant? Jaw surgery? Rhinoplasty? Septoplasty? Chin implant? Jaw surgery? you have a somewhat over projecting dorsal profile. The over projection of the dorsal nasal profile accentuates the under projection of the chin. A Rhinoplasty with reduction of the dorsal hump could be performed to improve the nasal profile. If there is breathing difficulty this may be due to a deviated septum. If that is the case a septoplasty can be performed along with the rhinoplasty to improve the airway. The cartilage harvested from the septum might be used as a septal extension graft to lengthen what appears to be a slightly short nose. The projection of your chin is weak. I’m not sure what you mean when you say you have difficulty closing your jaw. If that is true you should see an oral surgeon or orthodontist to determine what the problem is. From the aesthetic point of view the projection of the jaw can be increased either with jaw surgery which breaks the jaw and advances it forward, or with a chin implant added to the tip of the chin to increase its forward projection. if the only issue with the chin is aesthetics, the chin implant is the easier and less invasive approach. It can be done in conjunction with a Rhinoplasty and septoplasty. The potential appears to be there for quite a nice profile.

Answer: Profile Based on a pure anatomic analysis, a rhinoplasty with a potential chin implant or chin advancement (osseous genioplasty) would help achieve a more harmonious appearance. There are other options such as a chin implant instead of bone work. I would highly recommend seeing a board eligible or board certified plastic surgeon for a physical exam and accurate analysis with safe recommendations for potential surgical options. Best of luck!
