I have a flat face, what do you recommend? (Photo)

Question

I have a flat face, it has always been an insecurity of mines. I am not sure what to do.

Bora Ok, MD · Answer

Hi from Istanbul! I honestly don't think you need any surgery at all, you look very beautiful. I would recommend you to consider any cosmetic changes carefully. Technically speaking, if you're looking to add more projection to your facial features, you could benefit from an upper jaw advancement and rhinoplasty. Best of luck to you!

Steve Laverson, MD, FACS · Answer

Facial projection, width, height, dimensions, and relationship of features to one another contribute to our individual identity.  Yours are very beautiful.  If you want subtle changes to make a dramatic difference, depending on your dentition (cephalometrics), I would consider a Brink peri-pyriform implant and finesse rhinoplasty to narrow the top of your nose and to define and increase projection of your nasal tip.  The more complex approach would be orthognathic surgery.
