Best person to ask about these types of changes is your surgeon. I

would bet that with your condition, there will surely be functional

change, and that's what I would focus on. Personally I would never do

this surgery for cosmetic reasons since there is no guarantees on how

it will turn out.

We all tend to beat up on ourselves over our looks, and unfortunately

surgery is not a magic pill for that. Change comes from within.

That's my two cents worth. You will find others here who approach

this from a cosmetic perspective, but I'm not one of them.
