Your NYC facial plastic surgeon will perform a detailed facial proportion analysis to determine any areas of imbalance that can be corrected. This analysis includes dropping a vertical line from the most prominent part of the forehead to the most prominent part of the chin.
In women, the chin could be a little behind this vertical line and still be acceptable. However, beauty and facial measurements are not an exact science. Variability exists depending on the facial shape and ethnicity of the patient. There are ideal facial guidelines that Dr. Rizk uses to evaluate your face but he will also customize the analysis to your particular facial structure.
Many types of abnormal angles can exist between the chin and neck (mentocervical angle) and this angle can often be too obtuse due to a pushed back jaw or excessive fat under the chin or both. Dr. Rizk will evaluate your jaw position in relation to the lip, neck, nose and forehead position and make recommendations based on his ideal look for your face.
