Understanding Facial Harmony: Rhinoplasty & Chin Implants with Dr. Marco Faria Correa
In our ongoing series exploring plastic surgery procedures in Singapore, we sat down with internationally renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Marco Faria Correa to talk about a topic that affects many individuals looking to enhance their facial balance: rhinoplasty (nose surgery) and chin implants.
Dr. Marco reminds us that beauty isn’t about chasing trends or replicating someone else’s features—it’s about balance and proportion, especially when it comes to the face.
Facial plastic surgery, at its core, is about creating harmony among your natural features. This is especially true for rhinoplasty, where the goal is not to copy a celebrity nose, but to craft one that enhances your unique look.
However, after a rhinoplasty, some patients find that the new shape of their nose highlights other imbalances—particularly in the chin. This is why combining rhinoplasty with a chin implant is often recommended. Together, these procedures can bring symmetry to the face and improve the overall profile in a single surgery.
Why Combine a Chin Implant with Rhinoplasty?
Your nose, chin, and neck work together to define your profile. If your chin is recessed or weak, even a beautifully done rhinoplasty may not achieve the harmony you’re hoping for. A well-defined chin complements the new shape of your nose, creating a more balanced and natural-looking appearance.
For patients with a small or receding chin, adding a chin implant during rhinoplasty surgery can have a subtle yet powerful impact. It’s often the missing piece that brings the entire facial profile into balance—something that rhinoplasty alone may not achieve.
What Exactly Are These Procedures?
Rhinoplasty—often referred to as a “nose job”—reshapes the nose to improve its appearance and function. This could involve refining the bridge or tip, removing a bump, adjusting nostril width, or improving the angle between the nose and upper lip. It can also address medical concerns like nasal obstructions that affect breathing.
Chin augmentation or a chin implant is a cosmetic procedure where a small silicone implant is placed to enhance a weak or recessed chin. It creates better projection and adds harmony to the face—especially in profile.
When done together, these two procedures can dramatically improve facial symmetry and often boost self-esteem and confidence in the process.
Will a Chin Implant Make My Nose Look Smaller?
It might! Dr. Marco explains that in many cases, what appears to be a large nose is actually a result of a receding chin. By improving the chin’s projection, the nose can appear more proportionate—even without altering it. In such cases, a chin implant alone may be enough to achieve your aesthetic goals.
What’s Involved in Combining These Procedures?
If you're considering rhinoplasty and think a chin implant might also be beneficial, the first step is a personalized consultation with Dr. Marco. He’ll assess your facial structure and talk you through your options, including the best implant shapes and sizes to match your features.
