Would I be a good candidate for rhinoplasty and chin implant? Are my expectations realistic?

If the appearance of your nose
concerns you enough, it can be cosmetically improved with a rhinoplasty.
Whether it is worth doing is a decision that is personal and only you can make.
A receding chin can be improved with a natural appearing chin implant.

Nasal cosmetic surgery and a chin
implant are frequently performed together in the appropriate patient. The ideal
aesthetic result should be individualized to achieve harmony with your other
facial features and improve the areas that concern you.

Keep in mind that following advice
from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you what to do
based on two dimensional photos without examining you, physically feeling your
tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and
discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your
best interest. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is
appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I
would suggest that you find a surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience
certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a
member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or a
facial plastic surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable
with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. The extent
and length of the procedure, cost, and the specific operative steps to achieve
an ideal cosmetic result vary from patient to patient and would depend on the
findings at your consultation examination.

The photographs reveal a very small chin and her relatively large nose.  However majority of the problem with profile is from the chin.  A chin implant will make a tremendous change in your profile.  I have had times where patients underwent a chin implant and it changed the profile to the extent that the did not even need a rhinoplasty.  Please make sure you discuss this with you surgeon.RegardsDr. J
