I obviously have a very odd face and consider myself extremely unlucky. My nose is crooked, bulbous, has a dorsal hump, and a droopy hooked tip. In addition my cheeks are sagging & I believe my fat pads are falling. I also have extra skin and this creates two lines cutting across each cheek. As if that weren't enough my jaw is an overbite & my chin is really small! My family says there is nothing wrong with me and it is very discouraging b.c there clearly is! Drs please leave suggestions

Without pictures, it is impossible to give you specific advice. However, for your nose issues, you would probably benefit from a rhinoplasty. For your chin, an implant may be helpful. For your overbite, you would need a full examination to determine the best course of action.
Good Luck.
