I have a sunken mid face and long jaw, which creates an uneven facial profile. I was recommended mid face augmentation using rib cartilage implants along with rhinoplasty on my nose. This is a surgery done by VIPPS in korea but I would rather not travel to Korea. Anyone in the USA do something similar? What are my options? Pros and cons?
