Prominent cheekbones
Hello sir.. I'm 20year old girl. Sir I find my cheekbones prominent and my upper lip portion a little bit in front. I wanted to know if the cheekbones can be shaved to make them less prominent? And also is it possible to make the upper lip portion less protruding? My teeth are properly aligned but my grin looks wide, can they be corrected? Sir please let me know what options are available.. my problems are entirely cosmetic..thank you
