I have scars with a tattoo over them on my forearm and want to get rid of both. A doctor told me laser tattoo removal won't fix the scars would plastic surgery work for this? I'm worried about how effective it'll be and if it's the right option.

I'm 22 years old and my height is 6 feet 2 inches, but I've always felt like my face is way too small for my body. It's pretty noticeable and people often comment that I look like a kid, which is really embarrassing. I'm worried about it and Id love to know if theres anything I can do to make my face appear bigger or more proportionate. Right now, it's just too small and thin. Any advice would be really helpful.
