The chin and nose form an important part of one’s profile to look balanced and attractive. Most people need chin augmentation in addition to nose surgery to achieve a proper balance to their face. A recent study has shown that most patients who underwent rhinoplasty need a chin augmentation to balance their features.

Rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure which corrects malformation of the nose to improve the facial appearance and the breathing function. Often patients undergoing rhinoplasty have small chins. Sometimes the new nose makes an average chin look smaller in size.

By combining the two procedures simultaneously, your surgeon can fix problems related to nose and at the same time use an implant on the weaker jawline to help you look balanced and beautiful.

For people with a small and receding chin, the most common operation is chin augmentation. It reshapes your chin. With a prominent chin and elegant jawline, the profile looks more attractive. This procedure is often performed with rhinoplasty to balance the profile as correcting a smaller chin helps to make the nose more attractive. Generally, patients who undergo both procedures are happier with their overall post-surgical results than those who choose one procedure over the other.

If you are considering having rhinoplasty, chin augmentation, or a combination of both procedures, it is advisable that you contact a Board Certified plastic surgeon. Prior to surgery discuss your matter with your surgeon and your surgeon will inform you about the impact of the procedure on your overall look.
