A member asked:

Can chin augmentation be done in conjunction with rhinoplasty or other surgeries? i would like to have my nose done at the same time as chin augmentation. is it possible to do both at the same time?

Absolutely. : Absolutely. In fact, these procedures are performed together quite frequently. Rhinoplasty is a very complex procedure with many different factors to consider to achieve a pleasing result. Planning for the procedure is just as important as the procedure itself. There is a natural balance between the nose, lips, and chin that give a nice profile. If any of these landmarks are not in good proportion, it can make the face off balance. For instance, it is not easy to make a "big" nose "small". In many instances the nose is not big, but the chin is recessed or small. Through a small incision under the chin and appproximately 1 hr more of operating room time, a chin augmentation will be a great addition to a rhinoplasty. Having your surgeon morph your preoperative photo is a great way to see the changes that can occur. For more information, please visit my website: www.Sarasotaplasticsurgey.Com.

It : It is very common to combine chin augmentation with rhinoplasty or other facial plastic surgery procedures. This is great for patients in that it creates just one recovery period.

These : These are often combine and will enhance the overall results in many instances. Some have even termed this a profiloplasty. Neck liposuction is also a complementary procedure. These are most commonly performed under general anesthesia.

Yes!: If you have a weak chin by doing rhinoplasty and chin implant at the same time will give you a better result!

Absolutely: This is a very common combination, because small chins make big noses appear bigger, and visa versa.

Nose & Chin Surgery: Chin augmentation is commonly done in the same surgical session as other facial procedures such as the lite lift™, neck lift, playsmaplasty or rhinoplasty. It is safe for you to get both procedures at the same time. https://pacificcenterplasticsurgery.com/procedures/face/chin-augmentation/.
