What treatments can make feel more confident in my facial features? (Photos)

Question

I want surgery soon. Cost?I am most unhappy with my profile. The only feature I favor is my eyes. I am willing to travel for surgery if I am to believe the treatment and cost is worth it. I live close to Austin, TX and looking to have treatment before the summer.

A rhinoplasty would  be the most worthwhile option and possibly a chin implant. You shouldn't have to travel far to find someone who can do this for you. Austin has plenty of good surgeons.

As a board certified plastic surgeon, I hear concerns like yours quite often. As we age, the loose skin and gravitational descent of fat and soft tissue all change the way our face appears. Just based on the photos – and of course would need to discuss things in depth to make sure that my suggestions are aligned with your aesthetic wishes – I see four areas that could be improved:  the profile of your nose, which is over projected; your chin, which is underprojected; the excess tissue of your neck, which could be resuspended to give you a beautiful, sharp jawline; and the marionette lines + deep nasal labial folds that could benefit from a lower facelift done in conjunction with the neck lift. However, you are only an appropriate candidate if these features also bother you! It would behoove you to meet in person with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns specifically and see which procedures would be right for you. The cost of the procedures will vary based on the experience of surgeon and the safety of the facility.

Hello @winkwink7 thank you for your question and showing your pictures. One of the most in the face is the nose, so I suggest a rhinoplasty to modify the nose shape to a more refined. The goals of a nose surgery are individualized according to the characteristics of each patient. When reshaping the nasal structures, several changes can be made, among which the following stand out: Straightening the nose, correcting bumps on the bridge of the nose, reducing the length of the facial tip, reducing the size of the nose and correcting breathing problems. I suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon if you are considering a surgery. That way you will have more information and recommendations. Best wishes!

The side profile photographs demonstrate an overly projecting nose,  an under projecting chin, and fat deposits in the neck located both above and below the platysma muscle. Consider a closed rhinoplasty approach to shave down the dorsal hump and narrow the bridge line. Placement of a chin implant can accomplish augmenting the chin and mandible forward for better structural support for the soft tissues in the neck. As long as the skin tone in your neck is acceptable, then Consider a neck lift procedure which accomplishes removal of the fat deposits above and below the muscle, in addition to a platysma-plasty to significantly improve the jawline
