By the way, rhinoplasty and chin increase have an important potential benefit in common: each can provide a better balance to facial aesthetics. As such, patients who want a more symmetric or harmonious facial appearance are often considered candidates for one of these two surgeries. Althegh, the two share similar skills in that sense, differ dramatically in their treatment areas and the way they are performed. Our plastic consulting surgeon, Mr. William Townley, advises his patients to consider the following factors before choosing between the increase in the chin and rhinoplasty.

The “increase in the chin” refers to a variety of techniques to expand or improve the appearance of the chin. This can be achieved by transferring facial fat, placement of a silicone implant or the use of dermal fillings (the latter is the most common option for less intensive improvement). The increase in the chin can be so special for patients who want to correct a weak or underlined chin. When completed with a qualified plastic surgeon, the treatment can contribute to a stronger and more pronounced jaw line and a more defined profile. It is important to keep in mind that the increase in the chin is always performed virtually for aesthetic purposes.

Meanwhile, rhinoplasty can sacrifice more than a cosmetic improvement. Coloquirrally called “Nose Work”, the procedure implies the repositioning of the nostrils to create a more proportional structure. It can be an ideal solution for patients who want to change the size, shape or position of their nose, as well as for those who wish to reduce the appearance of cyclomotor, blows or nasal asymmetry. That said, expert performance rhinoplasty can also address functional problems, namely a diverted or conerns septums concerned about breathing involving nasal breathing passage. In fact, patients sometimes undergo rhinoplasty with the intention of simultaneously improving both the function and the appearance of the nose.

While patients who want a more balanced profile can benefit from one of these procedures, many choose to combine both for comprehensive improvement. If you are interested in harmonizing its characteristics through this combination of advanced surgery, we recommend that you consult a plastic consultant with decades of experience and extensive knowledge or facial anatomy, such as Mr. Townley.
