Looking your best.
Hi!
1) You have a very nice face and I don't think you need a "makeover".
2) It's hard to tell from just one snapshot, but maybe your upper cheeks are becoming a little flat. The young face has the shape of an "oggee", an architectural element that is convex on top and concave near the mouth. This shape can be restored with Juvederm injections in the upper cheeks.

Cosmetic surgery choices
What you end up doing for your face is dependent on what will make you more happy/content/confident/etc. It requires a careful analysis and sensitive discussion with a plastic surgeon. Procedures should be driven by patient desires, not by what surgeons can do. Sometimes it takes a whle and many visits to a surgeon to fully understand how you view yourself. Patients often know what bothers them and what they don't like but they often do not know specifically what will make them happy....

Plastic Surgery Makeover
From one photo, it would be very difficult to tell you what would help improve your appearance. A very thorough consultation is performed in my office going over your medical history, and your concerns about your appearance. After this discussion, a plan is worked out for you.
