Hello. I'm 24 year old male and I would like to discuss with you some issues that I'm interested. For a long time I'm interested to do some corrections on my face. The biggest problem is my nose and chin. I have talked with one friend who knows a bit about this and he told that this could be easily corrected with two small operations- rhinoplasty for my nose and chin implants.
He told me that the effects of these operations are great but, in fact, he doesn’t know anything more about this. So, I'm interested to get some kind of feedback from patients who had this kind of operation.
So, if anyone has any experience with this- feel free to write about this!

Hello. I think I can help you with some information because I have had the chin implants operation few years back. I haven’t had the rhinoplasty operation but I don’t think that this could be problem because these last years- it has become a routine.
Chin implantation is popular because of the relative simplicity and low morbidity. Incision is approximately 2.5 cm long and at least 1 cm above the gingivolabial sulcus. Before the operation you surgeon will show you some photos and you will choose the right desired proportions of your future chin. Face shape and length and the relationship of the chin and nose to the face are examined also. The operation often lasts between 30 minutes and 1 hour. After the operation you will be swollen for at least 10 days and will be monitored at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and yearly thereafter.
