What specialist(s) should i go see?

I want it to be more masculine looking. I am a male. One of my biggest concerns are my eyes. My lower eyelids bulge out due to the protrusion of my eye. I also have a recessed maxilla and mandible, which makes my face short and rounder. I believe my facial structure needs to change. Can this be done by just Jaw surgery or should I go see a craniofacial surgeon? A plastic surgeon? etc..

Procedure: Eyelid Surgery
Location: San Diego, CA

Hello and thank you for your excellent question. It is best to answer your question during a face-to-face evaluation, when you can discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure, and you can have a physical examination to evaluate for that procedure. I recommend that you find a board-certified, or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of similar patients whom have had this procedure. If you have any questions, call our office for assistance. Good luck!

Hello, thank you for your question, according to your description of your face I recommend that you should have a face to face evaluation with a plastic surgeon, with craniofacial training.
