Would a septoplasty or cheek implants improve the symmetry of my face? (Photos)

Question

When I smile my nose is very crooked and my cheeks are flat.

Dear andreanaj,
septoplasty won't have effect on your face asymmetry. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

A septoplasty is performed in the back of the nose to improve airflow dynamics And to breathe better. A septoplasty will not change the shape of your nose. Cheek implants are placed for patient to have a flat mid face in a flat maxilla. The determination to place cheek implants is made at rest, not when smiling.
