I'm 20 year's old. I haven't went under any plastic surgery till date. But I want to look good as I don't like the shape of my lip and nose. Will my nose and lip will be perfect with the help of surgeries? As I went to a plastic surgeon he told me that my nose won't be perfect after doing surgery. What should I do?
