rhinoplasty
rhinoplasty and chin augmentation (mentoplasty) at the same time

A weak or receding chin can emphasize the appearance of a large nose. For this reason your surgeon may recommend changing the chin to improve your profile.

check sourceIt is not uncommon to perform chin augmentation at the same time as a rhinoplasty. Opinions vary but between 10-20% of patients who present for rhinoplasty may benefit from chin enlargement.

The surgeon can judge the need for this by checking the position of the chin relative to the lower lip. In some patients a chin augmentation alone may be enough to bring the profile into balance.
