My face is incredibly unattractive, what can I do to improve it? (Photo)

Hello Mariah,Great question. Based on your images, you can benefit from a rhinoplasty procedure. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results.

I guess I disagree that lots of other features look bad! You have such pretty eyes, and round-ish cheeks will make you look younger than your peers for a loooong time. It's true, however, that making the nose smaller can make the face look younger, and perhaps take away one item that bothers you.
I see the bump of course. And your nose is strong in its forward projection away from your face, so we'd bring it back closer to the face. Then, elevating the tip would also draw attention away from the nose, and a higher tip is interpreted as a younger face, too.
How *much* to elevate the tip or lower the bump or bring the nose closer to the face? We get all that figured out before surgery, by making and adjusting morphs to fit the patient's preferences. Morphs can help in figuring out what to do before surgery. In fact, I consider them mandatory before surgery.
Remember that rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. The changes that your nose needs require advanced techniques, requiring skill that most plastic surgeons don't possess with expertise. For most noses, it's much better to not have surgery than to have inexpertly-performed surgery. Read my essay on how to stay out of trouble while selecting a rhinoplasty surgeon. And for those who have had previous surgery, it also discusses how to tell whether your first surgeon should be performing your revision.
Your nose is also a perfect example of why computer imaging is mandatory in rhinoplasty. You need to know exactly what the surgeon is planning to accomplish -- what features he thinks he can change, and by how much he thinks he can change them. I always email morphs to my online rhinoplasty consultations. When you see the surgeon's goals in the morphs, you'll know whether he has an eye for an attractive nose, and whether he shares your opinion of what constitutes an attractive nose. You'll also know whether the changes he proposes are large enough to be meaningful to you, and whether he understands your wishes enough to address all of your priorities. How would you ever get that figured out without the morphs?

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well... based in your question and the picture you showed you are a good candidate for rhinoplasty , in your case with technique open and elevate the tip.

I see and hear your concerns, although I think you may be being a little hyper-critical of yourself.  If you're significantly bothered by your profile view, I think your facial balance could be improved with a conservative rhinoplasty and chin implant.  As always, the best specific recommendations come from an in-person exam with a standardized set of photographs.  It may be in your interest to schedule a consult with a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon to discuss options in greater detail.  Best of luck!

Hello,Thank you for your question. A physical examination by an experienced Board Certified plastic surgeon could provide best options for you. Based on your photos you may benefit from rhinoplasty, buccal fat removal and chin contouring procedures. Regarding your nose it can be straightened, the length and tip reduced and refined. To catch the harmony between the dorsum and the tip a wing surgery might be needed, which is the removal of the excessive parts of the alas. I use suturing techniques to achieve a narrower, refined and aesthetically pleasing tip. A beautiful and natural looking nose, that suits your face can be achieved by the help of the Closed and Atraumatic Rhinoplasty, which minimizes swelling and bruises, maximizes healing, prevents tissue damage and eliminates a scar on the columella. To find out more please click on the attached link.

I would kindly disagree with your overcritical evaluation of your face. Yes, there may be few areas of improvement and I will mention some options. Chin implant will help but needs to be properly selected; rhinoplasty should be done in the same time and possibly reduction (lowering) of high forehead (hairline). In person evaluation and discussion about goals and options with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in nose surgery and facial rejuvenation is recommended. Good luck.

First off, from your photos alone you do not appear unattractive nor do you appear older than 25, so I am guessing that you are being a bit hard on yourself. That said, it is just about impossible to recommend any sort of a treatment plan without examining you in person. A chin implant with minimal projection but enhanced width may restore a better balance to your jaw line, and a refining rhinoplasty to narrow your bridge may also be potentially beneficial. There little role for a "hairline implant" but there are procedures that would allow us to shorten your forehead or advance your hairline. Simple non-surgical solutions may include changing your hairstyle to allow more of your forehead to be concealed along the line of bangs. I would recommend one or more consultations with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon who can evaluate your overall facial proportions and features and make some specific recommendations to you. Be sure that the photos from his or her before and after gallery align with your own sense of aesthetics. Best of luck to you. 

Based on your photos, you may benefit from a feminizing rhinoplasty, buccal fat excision to slim the face, and chin sculpting. You have a lot of things going for you as well, so eliminating those distractions may go a long way toward helping you feel like your face is more harmonious with your age and how you feel. Best wishes!  Harry V.

You have pointed out multiple facial concerns some of which are improveable and others which are not. Your nose and chin are two very improveable features through a rhinoplasty and a sliding genioplasty. (to bring your chin forward and vertically shorten it. When you use the term 'hairline implant' I assume you mean lowering our frontal hairline which can be done by a hairline advancement or hair transplants. Your cheek fullness can be reduced by buccal lipectomies and perioral liposuction. The location of your lips on your face and how they move can not be changed. 

 I believe you  would be a good candidate for rhinoplasty and potential chin augmentation for your profile.  These procedures could add some overall balance and facial harmony that you desire. Make sure to schedule an in-person consultation. When we consult with our rhinoplasty patients, we also discuss the overall balance of the face in general. We want all the elements including the chin, cheeks and nose to be in harmony. Good luck !
