Rhinoplasty and Chin Augmentation Combination Surgery Considerations

Rhinoplasty and Chin Augmentation Combination Surgery ConsiderationsAuthor: Abigail AaronsonAs you may already know, rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure which is used to correct malformations of the nose, often for deviated septum or a broken nose not healing correctly. However, you may not be aware that many patients who undergo rhinoplasty procedures can also greatly benefit from a chin augmentation. And, the best news is that these two procedures can be combined and performed all on the same day by your plastic surgeon.

What is Rhinoplasty? Rhinoplasty is major surgery which corrects malformations of the nose to help improve the facial appearance of the patient and improve breathing function. This and breast augmentation are two of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures performed in the United States today. Also, more commonly referred to as a "nose job," this procedure is performed by plastic surgeons across the U.S. in response to the increasing demand from men and women. What is Chin Augmentation? Chin augmentation surgery consists of an implant being placed to help correct underdevelopment of the natural jawline. The implant is used to help create a more prominent chin in those born with a weaker jawline.
