Question

I hate my profile but I'm not sure what I need ? My doctor thinks I'm showing signs of body dismorphia but I would appreciate your thoughts ?

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

Your profile could be enhanced by a very conservative rhinoplasty with slight bump removal and tip refinement etc. Also your chin could be reduced so it is not quite so prominent and masculine appearing. This should be done by an experienced surgeon.I do this quite often on transgender patients and you can have a conservative removal with a more feminine looking face. In my opinion fillers would be a waste of time and money for you.

Jose Barrera, MD · Answer

I understand your concerns for improving your profile. The decision to undergo rhinoplasty and chin surgery is a personal one. Your goals need to be defined with the help of an esthetic facial surgeon. A well defined chin balances the face and creates a more aesthetic profile. A balanced chin also helps define the neck line improving sagging jowls and the neck line. Chin implant or genioplasty surgery may be necessary for functional reasons such as sleep apnea, retrognathia, or microgenia (small chin) or a large chin. I've attached a photo of one of my patients after rhinoplasty to improve the her profile and a genioplasty to reduce the size of the chin and offer a balanced profile. Ultimately, I recommend seeing a facial plastic surgeon for a consultation.

Dear Nikita5,It would be a good idea to discuss what kind of changes you would like to your profile and chinYou have a pretty nose from the side, and if you wanted any changes, they would be minor tweaksIf you visit a rhinoplasty specialist, they can answer any concerns you may haveA non-surgical rhinoplasty with fillers may help a little, and it depends on what your goals are Best,Nima Shemirani

I think that you need to be very clear with what you are unhappy with. I can not say from just the photos. Best of luck.

Thank you for the photos but an examination and discussion of goals is really needed before making an intelligent commentDr Corbin

Fillers will add volume to your nose and chin which you do not want. A rhinoplasty to reduce your nasal profile and a chin reduction are what you need to feminize those structures and bring them into proportion with the of your facial features.
