Is it okay to get a chin implant before my rhinoplasty?

If you are looking to have both a chin implant and rhinoplasty performed, I would recommend having them at the same time. While the results will not be affected if you have them done at different times, doing them at the same time allows you to have just one recovery period and will likely be less expensive as well. Additionally, augmenting the chin can help bring the nose into balance with the face. There are times when a chin implant is required to get the best results from a rhinoplasty. I hope this helps.

You are an optimal candidate for the so called profileplasty, which
consists in doing rhinoplasty and chin surgery at a time, a safe and
routinary procedure in experienced hands.Being an option, chin implants have serious disadvantages, specially in
the mid and long term, patients are rarely happy with them after 5-6
years, all are out by then or later.Consider the chin advancement by means of sliding genioplasty, the advantages are:-lifetime procedure, no more revision or renewal procedures-more natural than implants-no visibility of implant edges during gestures-improves
the double chin effect at the sub-mental muscles (floor of mouth)
hammock caused by lack of tension there; also improves the shape and
tension of perioral muscles; implants do no offer this feature-horse-shoe enhancement, covering the chin and also the jaw sides of it-no future displacements or neuritis of mental nerves-practically zero infections and 100% healing of bones-no
need for complex plates and screws that may need future removal; just
steel wires synthesis may suffice, they stay buried into bone callusThe cons are:-expensive, but cheap if you consider the lifetime pros-technically
demanding, few surgeons are experienced or comfortable (though I
personally perform 100% of the chin augmentations by this osseous
method, always after offering the patients both options)-scary for the patient (though not so much if you explain well the stuff around it)You'll
find in this website dozens of negative experiences with chin implants
in the short and mid term, do read my profile's Q&A and you'll find
them too. I am doing sliding genioplaties for 15 years with the highest
success and no one patient regreted, totall the opposite, I did many
chin implant removals and one staged sliding genioplasties to replace
them.

The two procedures can be performed separately. However, it would be best to have them performed together. In this case, you will only need to have general anesthesia once and the overall cost will be lower. I hope this information helps, and I wish you the best of luck.  

Assuming you are a good candidate for a chin implant, I would recommend doing both the Rhino and chin aug together.  There really is no benefit to performing in two stages.  Often times the results complement each other and patients are quite happy with the outcome.

Although it makes sense to do rhinoplasty and chin augmentation at the same time, it is perfectly fine to do these in any order you like.

  A rhinoplasty procedure and a chin implant procedure can be performed together at the same time under general anesthesia, or as separate procedures. The rhinoplasty is still performed under general anesthesia, and the chin implant would be performed under local anesthesia. The biggest question to answer is whether or not you want to have both procedures done at once with one recovery period of 2 weeks, versus having to  undergo  the recovery period of 2 weeks for each procedure which  equals 4 weeks down time. Most patients elect to undergo both procedures at the same time, to minimize their down time

While it is definitely reasonable to get a chin implant prior to rhinoplasty, it may make more sense to pursue both surgical procedures concurrently.  When performed together, the two procedures would result in one post-operative recovery period, and one operating room and anesthesia cost.  That being said, if the procedures are performed at separate times, your chance of a satisfactory outcome is likely the same, given good health and close adherence to pre- and post-operative instructions.  I think you'd do best to discuss your concerns with your surgeon and then a make a pro/ con list to having a concurrent versus two separate procedures.  While there is no right answer, a thorough discussion with your surgeon and further thought about risks of benefits on your part can help you decide which route makes most sense.  Best of luck!

The sequence of procedures will have no influence on your result. However, if possible I recommend that you have both done at the same time so you have one operation, one anesthetic, and one recovery. It will also cost less.

The results would be the same either way but separating the two procedures would be considerably more expensive.                    

 Hi, I have performed many Chin Augmentations using chin implants for over 30 years.  A weak chin creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy and the lower face look short that de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a double chin.  Chin augmentation using a chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face.  I have found that placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick and highly effective.  I perform chin implant surgery in 30 minutes or less, often using a local anesthetic alone. In my opinion, your are a good candidate for chin implant surgery. I frequently combine chin implant surgery with Rhinoplasty but the chin implant can certainly be done first and yield the same aesthetic results whether you have a  Rhinoplasty separately or at the same time.  While Rhinoplasty and Chin Augmentation provide synergistic aesthetic results, each when properly performed make aesthetic improvements on their own.Hope this helps.
