Hello, I am looking for some information regarding a nose job. I like the front view of my face, but the profile is what I hate. Is there still a way to make the nose look flattering without changing the front view of my face? Also I have read that fixing the chin can help the nose look more structured. Thank you for the help. Lynn
Answer: Chin impant and rhinoplasty
You appear to be an ideal candidate for rhinoplasty and chin augmentation. Reduction rhinoplasty together with chin implantation will significantly enhance your facial aesthetics. Computer imaging can often help with surgical planning and simulation of potential results.

Answer: Rhinoplasty is often combined with Chin Implant Surgery to create Facial Balance
Hi Lynn,
Yes, the frontal view of your face can remain very similar by maintaining the characteristics that you like about that part of your appearance.
You are correct in that your nose can be made to appear more flattering (smaller, not as long, remove small dorsal bump) if you combine rhinoplasty surgery with a small chin augmentation implant surgery. The contour of your neck line will also be improved with a chin implant.
Nasal surgery and chin implant surgery are often combined because these 2 elements of the face compliment each other to create not only an attractive, balanced profile but also a harmonious appearance to the frontal view of the face.
These 2 surgeries combined often yield a very pleasing result for patients, and they are very straightforward to perform.

Answer: What to do about a weak chin and large nose
Hi and thanks for your question. Yes, your nose can be deprojected and your chin augmented without making any significant changes to your frontal appearance. It looks like you would be an excellent candidate for these procedures. I am also in Pennsylvania, although not very close to you as I am in the suburbs of Philly. I do however, see many patients from out of town. Please check out my before and after photos here on Realself. Thanks. Dr. P

Answer: Rhinoplasty and chin implant together may be for you...
This is a common scenario where a patient may not have noticed his or her profile until perhaps viewed in a picture. Often the nose is straight and the tip has normal appearance, but the profile can have a hump or even be “beaky.” A weak chin can make the profile even worse. Certainly, these problems can be addressed without altering the overall appearance of the frontal view. Remember that the nose looks best when all of the parts are in appropriate proportion. This is why a chin implant can be of assistance in certain patients.

Answer: It's very common that chin augmentation (implant) is done at the same time as rhinoplasty
Often we use the term profilplasty to explain the addition of a chin implant along with nasal surgery, especially hump removal. And the profile of the nose can also be changed without altering the front view. I find that computer imaging helps a lot, especially when chin implants are being considered. the new Vectra 3-D image system is great for that.
