I hate my nose and face size. I just wanted to know if there is a surgical procedure that can give me a smaller face. I'm 24 & I already have what looks to be the imprints of bags under my eyes. Also I have smile lines with an overrounded chin that I believe gives my face a "manly" look. Im using a pic of Aaliyah as my default because I think she's beautiful & I would love 2 look like her . I've been told that I look like a man several times and now I believe it. Any sugg'ts R welcome

Feminizing a masculine face.

I have been doing facial feminization for 35 years and your upper face is beautiful except you may want to have your hairline lowered with or without a tissue expander depending on how loose your scalp is. A rhinoplasty for the African-American  nose would be of great benefit and help to feminize your face, with or without a chin implant. You have lovely eyes and cheeks so there is nothing else you need.

Feminizing facial features

I disagree. Your face is not manly. Based only on these photos the only procedure that might be of help is a rhinoplasty. The goal would be to make it more petite, less pyramidal, narrow the base just above the lip and make the  tip less round.
