My face has gotten wider over time, especially my cheeks, and it wasn't like this before. Can I achieve a narrower face, and would I need both orthognathic surgery and plastic surgery, or just a plastic surgeon? Is this even possible? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

Yes, it's possible to achieve a narrower face, and the approach depends on the cause of the widened appearance. It may require both orthognathic surgery and plastic surgery, or just plastic surgery, depending on the specific situation. A qualified surgeon can determine the best approach after a thorough assessment.

I've struggled with deep acne scars on my cheeks for years and nothing has worked not even fractional CO2 laser treatments. Would plastic surgery be an option to restore my cheeks? I'm really desperate at this point and just want to know if there's any hope for improvement.

Yes, plastic surgery can be an option for improving the appearance of deep acne scars, especially after other treatments like fractional CO2 laser treatments have not yielded satisfactory results. While scars cannot be completely removed, plastic surgery techniques can significantly improve their appearance by resurfacing or grafting tissue.
