My lips, nose, eyes, ears and facial bones are asymmetrical. I inherited it from my mother and I'm really sick of it. Now that she's going older and her skin have lost its elasticity, the asymmetry is more visible and I know that i'll have the same fate. people usually don't recognize this but I look horrendous in photos. This problem has messed up my mental health. I need to know that to what extent will plastic surgery improve my condition, specially lips and nose and what are the risks?

Facial asymmetry
Facial asymmetry is normal. The photos looks a bit distorted so it is hard to evaluate things, but if you are unhappy with some facial asymmetry, then perhaps facial fillers may offer a remedy to even out the discrepancy.

You are beautiful!
Asymmetry is common--nobody has a perfectly symmetric face. A bit of asymmetry is what makes us look interesting. I don't see anything "wrong" with your face. Nor would I suggest a multitude of procedures for you. Plastic surgery will not make you love yourself, and it won't fix things that aren't right in your life. I think you need to look elsewhere, not plastic surgery, for your answers.

Facial symmetry
There is nothing wrong with your facial symmetry and I assure you that you do not look horrendous. There is some other issue going on here and it is imperative that you be evaluated by a psychologist or psychiatrist in conjunction with a plastic surgeon to avoid major problems down the road.
