Age 22, what procedures would help balance my face & increase symmetry? (Photos)

katelynd3Jun 18, 2023
I already had a rhinoplasty and lip fillers. I'm not exactly happy with the front view of my nose but I can't get another rhinoplasty right now. My main concern is my jawline, it has never looked defined despite my weight. I'm getting consultation for lipo soon.

I'm also only 22 years old.
