I look like Homer Simpson due to my tear troughs and face shape. How do I fix this? (Photo)

Question

Hi, I feel like I have a really bad face shape. I am 20 and have manly cheeks and a weird indent on the skin next to my philtrum. I also think my nose is kind of weird, how do I fix this stuff?

Don't waste your money trying to address your tear troughs.  I think you are being overly critical of your appearance and you would be a setup to be dissapointed with surgery.

Your photo limits my ability to assess your needs but if you are bothered by deep tear troughs you can have either Juvederm or Restylane injected to soften that area.  It usually works quite well.  During a face to face consultation you can also review other options (rhinoplasty?) or use of filler in other areas to enhance your appearance. Hopefully your doctor will be conservative due to your young age.  Best wishes.
