I Am Not Pleased with my Facial Appearence, Help Would Be Appreciated. (photo)

I am 19 and of african descent.Since I stared puberty have had problems with my appearence. My nose is wide, with large nostrils and no bridge. I have a fat face when all I desire are cheek bones with a well defined jawline. My lips are huge, I cannot even find a lipstick that suits me and last, I have a small chin. My face is the one part of me that I feel isn't me and I dislike. I am definitely getting surgery but I need help as to what is realistic and what needs work. Thank you.
