Rhinoplasty and Chin Enhancement

Rhinoplasty and Chin Enhancement are often performed together. It is not unusual to find that someone has a prominent nose and a weak chin. In these patients, the weak profile of the lower face makes the nose appear even larger than it actually is. If a surgeon were to make this patient's nose match her weak lower face, the nose would have been lowered too much and look like an "operated nose". Instead, the chin was enlarged and the nose modestly reduced. This gave her a balanced look and a natural appearance.

Note that the tip of the nose on this 'actual patient' is slightly too turned up. This is a good illustration of the fact that not all cosmetic problems can or should be fixed. Her tip was too high prior to surgery. Correction of this problem often yields unnatural results. Despite this "less-than-perfect" correction, she is left with a profile that she is very proud of!
