I have a round face. I have always hated my nose, but I want to elongate my face. Which procedure should I choose. (photo)

Making a personal decision to improve symmetry and harmony in your face is very exciting and at times anxiety producing. Rhinoplasty is always a good place to start as we can improve the facial aesthetics and function of the nose. Most people immediately draw attention to the eyes and then the lips in a public setting. To provide symmetry to a round face, I usually recommend facial fat grafting or dermal fillers. Contemporary fat grafting is utilized to volumize the face, correct asymmetries, and balance the face that has suffered trauma with resultant fat loss or has gone through fat loss from aging. By harvesting, preparing, and transplanting fat as intact tissue it can be selectively used to enhance body contour and improve facial balance.

Thank you for the photos but from what I can see you do not have a round face and a full examination aided by digital photos would be helpful to determine what procedure or set of procedures would be best for you to get you to the "desired" look.
