What to do with my face? (Photo)

Question

The first couple of pictures are of me. My issues; starting w/my nose I hate the bridge & how wide it is throughout. I have a deviated septum which makes it very difficult to breath at times I feel as though I'm suffocating. The last couple of pictures are of the nose I wish I had, what do I need to be done along with septoplasty to achieve this? Then my mouth/chin area. I don't know what to do other than juvederm in my upper lip/nasolabial folds (& under eye area). Lastly, how to fix my acne scarring?

William Portuese, MD · Answer

A septoplasty is performed in the back of the nose when there is blockage of airflow and is only performed for medical necessity, not to improve the shape of the nose. A rhinoplasty is performed to change the shape of the nose such as shaving down a dorsal hump, straightening the bridge line, and refining the tip.

You are a beautiful young woman, and you are focusing too much on flaws. Enjoy all the beauty in your face!Septorhinoplasty by an experienced, board certified Facial Plastic Surgeon should help your breathing and contour. Computer imaging can help you and your surgeon communicate so he can understand your goals and you can understand realistic expectations. There are several options for acne scarring (which I can't see in the photos) and an in-person consult is important to select your treatment plan. Good luck!
