Some people mention that their noses, smiles, health etc changed after their surgeries which is definately not my goal. Id like my left face side(on pic should be right) to be more symmetrical, to be more like my right face side. Also Im not sure how much change is possible taking into account my natural facial features. Moreover, I dont want to have any implants, just my natural tissue.
Right now I consider my face shape to be close to that of Demi lovato or Tia Carrere. I have no particular wish pic, but something like Holly Durst would be nice.

If its something you really want done consider going to Korea. Plastic surgery is booming over there & alot of people getting it . I also have been wanting jaw reduction & i,m not Asian. Just a idea. Do whats comfortable for you.

Would you mind saying what Asian nationality/s you are?
Some of your features and your generally look, look very European and your nose does too,is there definitely no European blood?

Being born and raised in predominantly European country Ive always wanted to match who Im inside. Its probably vanity. I was said for 2in 1 procedure of zygoma and jaw reduction it would be about 10000 in San Fran, but I'm afraid of scars, or sth going wrong. I have no health issues and I like my smile, nose.. Im also not sure where to perform the procedure. Koreans seem to be very profound with such procedures, but what if they a doctor doesn't understand what I want ( my korean is 0%)?

I had jaw/chin reduction resulted in soft tissues out of place and serious sagging. Very uncomfortable. Premature ageing. Search on realself for chigirl who had the surgery in Korea. Look at the face after jaw reduction , to see how the soft tissues moved forward towards the frontal part of face making the face look heavier at the front. End up needing more money for a facelift or chin/jaw augmentation.
If you are in the states, I think a great first step would be to go to an actual consultation with a surgeon, and see even what types of surgery would be needed for what you wish to accomplish and whether they're possible safely, before you consider leaving the country. You might also try asking a question in the doctors' Q&A forum here on RealSelf. From your pictures, your face is already feminine, so the answers I already found don't apply so much (they mostly talk about botox for an enlarged masseter muscle, though I suppose that may still apply for you--that's why you need a consultation :). I'd try asking your question in both the facial plastic surgery Q&A and the Jaw Surgery Q&A, and remember to include pictures.
