Am I a candidate for a rhinoplasty? Do you recommend swapping out the chin implant for a larger one? (Photo)

You appear to have a lovely side profile, and I would not recommend exchanging your chin implant. I would not be able to comment with certainty regarding your nose unless I examined you in person, because there does appear to be a subtle amount of overprojection, yet every surgery carries risks. That said, I do quite often perform very subtle rhinoplasty surgery on patients who have minor details that they wish to improve. The decision for me to go forward with such cases is quite individual, and it varies with each patient and their own anatomical configuration.

Thank you for your question and sharing your photo.

The projection of the nose tip needs to be analysed in relation to the appearance from the front view, the characteristics of the skin and the quality of the nasal airway. Reduction in the tip projection can lead to the impression that the tip of the nose is wider from the front view, in particular when the skin is moderately thick or thick.

Further reduction in tip projection can be achieved with added contouring to the nasal tip cartilages but a consultation with a rhinoplasty surgeon would be more valuable than assessment on photographs.

The chin projection appears to be relatively good and since the neck contour is not visible in the photograph it is difficult to make a comprehensive assessment. In some instances reduction of volume under the chin is more favourable as it creates the impression that the chin projection is stronger. This may not be of any benefit in your case but cannot be evaluated in this photo.

You also need to be careful regarding the projection of the chin on the three-quarter view so computer imaging and simulation in 3D would be a powerful help with your decision process.
