Do you want better results from your rhinoplasty? Consider adding a chin augmentation to your nasal surgery.

The chin may seem completely unrelated to the nose, but these two features work as a team to bring harmony to your appearance. A prominent chin can make the nose appear smaller, and a large nose can overshadow a weak chin. By simultaneously enhancing these two areas, it is easier to create a balanced facial appearance.

Read on to learn more about why you should consider pairing a chin augmentation with your rhinoplasty.

The Benefits of Adding a Chin Augmentation to Your Rhinoplasty

Some things are better together. Chin augmentation and rhinoplasty make a powerful duo, often producing better results than either procedure could on its own. Here are some benefits of combining these two procedures.

• Recover from two procedures at once: When you combine treatments, you minimize the stress of going through surgery. Enjoy double the results with half the recovery by pairing procedures. Our mommy makeover is another popular combination.
• Lower cost: Combining treatments like chin augmentation and rhinoplasty can save money compared to having both treatments separately. With only one visit to the operating room, you’ll enjoy reduced costs for anesthesia and recovery, potentially saving money while ensuring you get the same outstanding care and results Dr. Yegiyants has built a reputation for.
• Better facial harmony: A symmetrical face is all about proportion. Changing the size of your nose can subtly alter your chin’s appearance, even if you’re happy with its current size and shape. By getting chin augmentation at the same time as your rhinoplasty, you’ll ensure these two features appear harmonious for a balanced and beautiful look.
• Improved facial profile: Like mountains on the horizon, your nose and chin are two critical features in your profile. Enhancing both can dramatically improve the view of your face from the side. If you have extra fat under your chin, facial liposuction can further improve your profile’s definition.

What Happens During Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure to improve the shape and function of the nose. Rhinoplasty can change the size of the nose, reshape the nostrils, remove nasal obstructions like turbinates, or correct bumps or depressions on the nasal bridge.

Though Dr. Yegiyants can perform rhinoplasty using either an open or a closed technique, an open rhinoplasty approach is more common. During this procedure, she makes a small incision along the thin strip of tissue that divides the nostrils, then carefully lifts off the skin and reshapes the nose using advanced surgical techniques.

What Happens During Chin Augmentation?

Dr. Yegiyants often performs chin augmentation by positioning a biocompatible implant onto the jawbone through a small incision (less than an inch) at the base of the chin. This medical device provides projection to the chin.

For patients who want to avoid using an implant, Dr. Yegiyants can also perform chin augmentation using a technique called a sliding genioplasty. This method involves cutting and sliding the jawbone to increase chin projection. While a sliding genioplasty eliminates the need for a chin implant, the procedure often involves longer recovery times.
