Chin Augmentation Gallery Patient 122146106

Patient is a 20 year-old female who has poor self-image due to her appearance.  She has been very self-conscious regarding her prominent nose with a large dorsal hump and over-projecting nasal tip that overpowers her facial features.  This combined with her weak chin has made her avoid social situations and dislikes having her photo taken.  She would like to look prettier with more proportioned features that better highlight her face.

Procedure:  Septorhinoplasty with reduction of nasal hump, narrowing of nasal bones with creation of dorsal aesthetic lines, and contouring of the nasal tip by reducing its projection and shaping through cartilage reduction and suture techniques.  A large extended anatomic chin implant was also placed, along with release of upper lip frenulum to allow better excursion of the lip when smiling.  Internal cartilage grafts were placed to ensure long-term stability of the rhinoplasty.  Photos are 6 months after surgery, and her result has been emancipating for her.  She has increased confidence, feels attractive, and is quite social.
