How important is the chin in a rhinoplasty case? This patient’s results show how important the nose-chin relationship is for a balanced and proportional profile. This patient had a crooked nose, a prominent dorsal hump, and a very deficient chin. After straightening her nose, removing the dorsal hump, lifting and refining the tip, and performing a sliding genioplasty; look how much her profile has changed aesthetically for the better.

This is a great example of how buccal fat removal changes the face. Buccal fat removal involves removing fat from the lower cheeks and the purpose is to narrow the lower 1/3 of the face. With removal of the buccal fat pad, the face appears less round and more angular or V-shaped. Buccal fat removal was popularized and trending during the pandemic, however, not everyone is a good candidate for this procedure. Ideal candidates are younger patients in their 20-30’s with a rounder face, and excess volume of the lower cheeks. As we age, the face loses volume and therefore patients in their 40’s plus may not be good candidates. An article in our journal from 2021, The Role of Buccal Fat Pad in Facial Aesthetic Surgery, by Drs. Rohrich and Stuzin, highlighted that this procedure can be beneficial in certain patients but if over resected or performed in the wrong patient, can lead to premature aging and midface distortion.

This is a 2 year follow-up revision rhinoplasty case. The patient had had 2 prior rhinoplasties in the past and was bothered by the nasal deviation, the dorsal hump, and the under-rotated and under-projected tip. In the post-operative views, you can see the nose is straighter, symmetric dorsal aesthetic lines have been established, the dorsal hump was removed, and the tip was elevated and rotated. It’s amazing how a more symmetric and proportional nose improves the balance and overall aesthetics of the face. Posted with permission.

This is a 3 month follow-up for an otoplasty or ear pinning procedure. The patient was bothered by how far his ears projected forward and how his ears were a major focus of his appearance. In the post-operative photos, the ears have been re-positioned in a more aesthetic and natural way. The patient’s facial features now become the focal point of his appearance and not the ears. A relatively simple yet powerful procedure. Posted with permission.

This is an interesting case because it is uncommon relative to lip augmentation. Most patients that come to a plastic surgeon want lip augmentation but there are some patients that want a lip reduction to improve the proportions of the lips. When planning these surgeries, it is very important to maintain the patient’s ethnic features. Upper lip and lower lip ratios and preferences are highly variable but in general, the proportions range between 1/3 to 2/3 and 1 to 1 upper to lower lip width. In this case, we wanted to reduce the upper lip and lower lip to make the lips smaller overall but also with the aim of bringing the ratio closer to 1 to 1. Posted with permission.

This is a 1 year post-op breast augmentation result for our beautiful patient. This case wasn’t straight forward because there were asymmetries of the breasts in terms of size and inframammary fold position. The right breast was higher and smaller and therefore the right breast fold was lowered and a larger implant was placed. The patient is 5’2” and 105-110 lbs and gel implants in the 250 cc range were placed through a periareolar incision and in the submuscular plane. Posted with permission.

There are three main ways to augment the chin: filler, an implant, and a genioplasty. A sliding genioplasty is the most powerful and permanent way to augment the chin. With a genioplasty, the chin bone is cut with a saw and moved forward and secured in its new position with plates and screws. A genioplasty is the most advanced way to alter the chin since the chin can be lowered, advanced, narrowed, set back, and asymmetries can be improved. In this case, the patient wanted a more defined jawline and stronger chin on profile view. In the postoperative views you can see a more angular and defined chin and jawline. Posted with permission.
