Age 22, male & wanted to see if I am a good candidate for plastic surgery? (Photos)

Beautiful465268Nov 28, 2022
Currently a 22 year old male. I’ve always felt like a looked a lot more photogenic in pictures than in real life. Like my face seems slimmer and my ears are brighter. I think it's because my eyes seem to pop out a lot more and the lower half of my face is a lot more balanced.
