Question

I don't like my face from front on or from one side. In photos I always tilt my head to one side as I look really pretty, but only from that side.

I'm not sure what procedure I need, my nose slopes off to one side and the curve is to round. Also my cheeks are lobsided and my jaw is not straight either.

Would I be able to send you some pictures and would you be able to tell me what I'd need to do to fix the problems?

I don't want to look like someone else, I want to look like me but how I look on the pretty side of my face.

Answer

I would suggest a consultation using a 3-D imaging and computer simulation approach, which will allow you to define in detail the aspects that you dislike but also to evaluate several scenarios for change.

It is important to appreciate that everyone's face have asymmetry involving each and every aspect, and it is not possible to create perfect symmetry. It is however possible to improve the balance of the appearance from the front view and semi--profile, by enhancing or reducing contrast and adjusting volumes and shape.

If you would like organise a consultation, kindly contact our office either by telephone at: 0207 486 7757 or by email at contact@aesthetic-plastic-surgery.co.uk and my team will be delighted to assist you.
