Correcting facial asymmetry. What is the most minimal and cost effective option?

Question

I am really bothered by facial asymmetry and lack of projection in the forehead and Midface area. I have a class three malocclusion with anterior crossbite -- and although it's not terrible, it is enough to be cosmetically unpleasing. Have talked to a maxillofacial surgeon and rhinoplasty specialist and rhino said to make sure to do maxillofacial before doing rhino. I honestly think I need a forehead implant, rhino , jaw surgery , but am wondering what is the most minimal and cost effective ?

If you're not going to have dental work done, then the rhinoplasty would be the most cost-effective means of creating a more attractive and feminine the appearance.  This should be done by a rhinoplasty expert who has a great deal of experience with natural before and after pictures. Do not rely on imaging but rather the surgeons work.

Jaw surgery includes osteotomies of the upper jaw and lower jaw are  extensive surgery performed by oral surgeon in a hospital setting with an overnight hospital stay. A rhinoplasty procedure performed as an outpatient procedure and would be much more cost effective and least invasive. A closed rhinoplasty approach can address shaving down the dorsal hump, decreasing the projection of the nose, straightening and narrowing the nasal bones and refining the tip.
