Would chin and nose surgery or eye surgery be more suitable for me? 20 y/o (photos)

RideFixer44Aug 25, 2023
20 y/o Black British, with no dental or airway issues. Would be purely cosmetic. Intend to have the procedure within the next 5 years, allowing for any more facial maturations to complete before going under. Would appreciate any and all advice!
