Mentoplasty and Nasal Reduction to Improve Sinus Congestion 

This Seattle chin implant patient had concerns regarding chronic nasal congestion and the size of his severely deviated nose. A preoperative assessment revealed an under-projected chin which worsened the perceived size of the patient’s nose. While undergoing a septorhinoplasty to correct his nose, the patient also had a chin implant placed via a small incision (in the area of a pre-existing scar) under his chin. Six months postoperatively, the patient has a much improved overall balance to his face. Though his nose was made smaller, by improving the chin projection Dr. Thomas Lamperti was able to maintain a strong, masculine profile for the patient.
