Hello,
I am 34 years old and in desperate need of
changing my life for the better. After
years of pain, fear and lonleliness, I am
determined to make my life the best it can
be. The first step is me and feeling
better about me when I look in the mirror.
I have a terrible case of an "uneven"
face. I believe it to have been from
birth, but the older I get the worse it
seems. The left side of my face seems to
be flat, while the right side is shorter
and fuller, almost looks like there is an
infection in my lower cheek. I have barely
any prominent cheekbones, a long,
receeded, lopsided chin, at times, appears
to be circular fat pockets on the lower
side of each cheek, near the mouth. It's
disgusting and I really hate looking in
the mirror and definately hate pictures
because it tears my self esteem down. I
stay pretty isolated because of my
insecurities. I love the person I am, any
help from surgeons

You can consult a plastic surgeon to check
if there is really something wrong with
your face (congenital deformities) or only
you perceive yourself as “ugly” in the
mirror. With or without congenital
anomalies on your face, you can still
choose to make esthetic plastic
corrections.
