To know for sure, you would need to be evaluated in person. However, from the picture that you have posted, it appears that you would benefit from both a rhinioplasty and a chin implant. (David Shafer, MD, New York Plastic Surgeon)
Rhinoplasty, Chin Impant, and Otoplasty in Teen
Yes, a chin implant along with rhinoplasty would be just what the rhinoplasty doctor ordered.
Otoplasty can be performed at the same time. (Michael A. Persky, MD, Encino Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Rhinoplasty and chin implant combination surgery
It is not uncommon for a patient with a large nose to require a simultaneous chin implant. Often this can be seen on the profile view.
Your pictures that you provided would suggest that you would benefit from both a reduction rhinoplasty and chin implant in order to bring your facial structures in balance.
You are the appropriate age for the procedure and you can also have an otoplasty at the same time if you desire to pin your ears back. (Scott Trimas, MD, Jacksonville Facial Plastic Surgeon)
You appear to be a good candidate for Rhinoplasty and Chin Implant Surgery.
I reviewed your profile photo, and you appear to have a bit of a retrusive chin.
This has the effect of making your nose look larger than it is. It seems that reduction rhinoplasty along with chin implant surgery would lead to the most harmonious result. Otoplasty surgery is effective for ears that stick out too far; it does not make your ears smaller, and your ear lobes may not be affected. A Frontal photo would be helpful. Consult 2 or 3 board-certified facial plastic surgeons to discuss your options. Computer imaging will likely be helpful for you. (Eric M. Joseph, MD, West Orange Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Rhinoplasty and Chin Implant
You do not “need” a chin implant with your rhinoplasty, but it would improve facial proportions and appearance. It is difficult to see what should be done with your ears but it would be appropriate to have an otoplasty during the same operation. You are old enough to have this surgery. (Richard W. Fleming, MD, Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Chin and nose
A chin implant may help balance your face, but it is certainly not necessary for you to have improvement in your nose. (Steven Wallach, MD, Manhattan Plastic Surgeon)
Chin implant will help balance your profile
You are correct, a chin implant will help balance your profile. I often explain to patients that making their chin larger automatically makes the nose look smaller. Your chin should meet a line drawn straight down from your lower lip. Your photo shows that you have an “underprojected” chin. Surgery could be done at the same time – a rhinoplasty and chin implant, which would make your profile more “harmonious” and give you the result you want.
Most cosmetic surgeons have “morphing” software and can show you your potential postoperative results. Otoplasty surgery brings the ears closer to the head. You did not provide a photograph that shows if you need this done. However, if you are looking to decrease the vertical length of your ears, I would advise against it. (Theda C. Kontis, MD, Baltimore Facial Plastic Surgeon)
Rhinoplasty, Chin Implant and Otoplasty
Chin implants are done with rhinoplasties to help balance the nose and chin. From your picture, this would probably be a very good addition to the rhinoplasty. Although it is hard to tell much about your ears from the picture, they do look large. If this is so, balancing them with the rest of your face could also give you more harmony. Pick a Plastic Surgeon with significant experience in both and you and your parents discuss these procedures at length to assure you understand the implications. (Robert T. Buchanan, MD, Highlands Plastic Surgeon)
Rhinoplasty and Chin Implant
Based on your picture, I agree that a chin implant would help enhance your Rhinoplasty result. Otoplasty will decrease the angle between your head and your ears, but it will not decrease the vertical dimension of your ears.
A frontal photograph with the hair pulled back helps make this determination. In my opinion, a Rhinoplasty, a chin implant, and an Otoplasty in the same sitting is potentially too much surgery from a physical and an emotional perspective for an 18 year old male. (Stephen Prendiville, MD, Fort Myers Facial Plastic Surgeon)
I Want to Get a Nose Job but Do I Also Need a Chin Implant
Thanks for the question and the side view photo. Yes I feel a small anatomic chin implant with a rhinoplasty is a great choice for you. Seek 3 opinions in MIAMI. (Darryl J. Blinski, MD, Miami Plastic Surgeon)
