What Surgery Will Help my Face (photo)?

I know I have a lot of asymmetry, and really hate how I look when I look in the mirror and at photos, but I can't put my finger on exactly what's needed. More feminine jawline? Smaller forehead? I am already doing Botox for wrinkles and I am addressing the weird discoloration on the side of my mouth, so try to look past that!

Browlift/midface volume/tip rhinoplasty

First off, I should start off by saying that you are a very attractive woman, and you should not hate what you see when you look in the mirror. Having said that, you could benefit from a few options. A brow lift [hairline] with hairline lowering as mentioned by Dr. Mayer is one such option. Facial fat grafting is the second option that would be beneficial as well. You have a very thin face and augmenting the cheek area specially would help. A tip rhinoplasty to better... more

Better

You are actually very attractive. I would love to see a photo with full makeup and your hair done. Scars from tissue expanders last a lifetime. Maybe a little too much botox being used

What surgery would help my face?

Hello, in reviewing your posted photos it is quite clear that you would benefit from a combination of procedures. Let's start with a rhinoplasty for some tip refinement, upper blepharoplasty (upper eye lid surgery), tear trough fill, augment your cheeks and nasal labial folds with your own fat or filler and laser resurfacing for your skin. Schedule a consultation with a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon. Your surgeon will do photo imaging and you will get a good idea of what you can... more

Volume Enhancement of the Midface

The major recommendation I have is adding volume to the midface and cheek areas. This can be accomplished with fillers such as Radiesse, or volumizers such as Sculptra (my preference) or autologous fat injections. A surgical alternative would involve placement of cheek implants over the malar regions. Regarding the height of your forehead, the answer is well described in the post by Dr. Mayer.

Facial asymmetry and long face with high forehead.

Facial asymmetry and long face with high forehead is quite common. Your hairline needs to be lowered significantly and unless your scalp is very flexible this requires a tissue expander for 6 weeks along with The Irregular Trichophytic Forehead incision and mild browlift. We developed this about 35 years ago and the hair grows thru the scar not behind it. Cheek implants can be done after if you still want them. The mild forehead and brow sadness will be corrected.

Cheek augmentation may help balance a stronger jawline

From your photos you do have a somewhat stronger jawline. Although there are options to reduce a prominent jaw, most involve cutting the jaw bone and are major surgical procedures. An option in your case may be to augment your cheeks to achieve a better balance with your jawline and forehead. This can be done with cheek implants, but injectable fillers, such as Radiesse, Juvederm, and Sculptra, can also augment cheeks. If you are unsure if you would be happy... more
