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

You did a spectacular job of modifying your profile and three-quarter views, much better than the job you did five months ago on a previous post. Your nose is already short enough, with the tip pointed up. You took down the hump to a slight concavity, looking very natural, and you did a very good job augmenting the chin.See the "Web reference" link, below. I made a modification/animation of your frontal view, to show the changes that are possible in expert hands, reducing the width of the tip.You look to be a very good candidate for a rhinoplasty and a chin augmentation. You should understand that these changes require advanced techniques that most plastic surgeons cannot handle with skill. You must see a surgeon's before and after photos before hiring him. The photos are your only indication of the surgeon's skill.

Your simulation is very adequate, realistic, achievable and shows a good cosmetic and anatomical judgement: you are an ideal case for rhinoplasty and sliding genioplasty. I would only add you might need septal leghtening since your nasolabial angle is too wide making your tip over rotated, upturned and too piggy for your new balance.Being an option, chin implants and fillers 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.

Thank you for the photos.  Yes, you would be a great candidate.  I would encourage you to sit down with a board certified plastic surgeon, and do the computer imaging together.  This will help you with your decision, and also give you a good idea about your surgeon's experience.  You can also see some of his/her before and after photos. Before and after photos are the only way to assure yourself that that the surgon in question can actually deliver what he is talking about.  I can tell you are really excited to have this done, picking the right surgeon will help you feel comfortable with your profile.  Good luck

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

Based on your pictures I agree that you will achieve a significant improvement in your facial features, including your profile. The goal of aesthetic surgery is to harmonize your facial features, and often the chin is neglected in the analysis. You should expect a lovely result - and although your simulated images appear realistic, there is no substitute for a consultation with a board certified plastic or facial plastic surgeon to go over the details of how to best achieve the look you desire. Best of luck!

You did an excellent job of self imaging.  I think the results you demonstrated are possible.  Combining chin implant surgery with rhinoplasty will provide a balance that rhinoplasty alone will not.  visiting with your surgeon about all of your concerns, including if he believes your desires are realistic, is key to getting the results you desire.  Your surgeon should be able to provide pictures of results with patients who had similar pre operative  features and what those results were as a result of surgery.

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.The harmony between facial parts makes us instinctively recognize the beauty... without knowing it, without defining it, just a perception that surprises and captivates us.In this regard, I suggest perform a Closed Rhinoplasty (without visible scars) to treat the tip, base and nasal bridge.With this procedure you get a delicate nose, better harmonize with your other facial features.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

What you want done is completely up to you.I say a Rhinoplasty which typically starts at $5,500 depending on the area you live. To make sure you get the best possible result, the surgeon should perform a detailed exam of the nose and provide a realistic goal that you and your surgeon agree upon. Rhinoplasty are permanent, but with age facial features do change. Find a surgeon and go for a consult, I think you would be very happy after the surgery

This is a wonderful question! I work with patients on a daily basis who are unsatisfied with their facial profile as a direct result of chin and nose contouring. We offer a 3-deminsional imaging process as part of our complimentary consultations which allows the images you have posted to be taken one step further allowing you to personalize your chin implant dimensions as well as nasal contouring. You seem to be a wonderful candidate for both of these procedures based on your images. The most important aspect of rhinoplasty and chin augmentation is communication and honesty in your expectations. I discuss this with my patients at every consultation. Good communication is key to a beautiful result as you are telling me what you would like and it is my job to make this a reality. The results you are anticipating are absolutely within reach for you! I wish you luck!

You appear to be a good candidate for a rhinoplasty and chin implant based on the photos you have submitted.  I believe the simulated results are realistic in the hands of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
