there area bunch of photo manipulation apps out there. I recommend taking a very starkly lit, completely naked (no makeup, hair pulled back) face shot and using an app that lets you push the bits around until the you in the photo looks like the you in your head. Then you can take that to the doctor.
I get that making the you on the outside look like the you on the inside is the real goal.
As I recall from when we did the shoot, you want a more Heart-Shaped face, with a more narrow chin, and more round angled jawline.
What the rest of the world sees when we look at you isnt the most important thing, but that doesn't make it UNIMPORTANT in your own math on the stakes at hand. And that's okay. BUT!!! It is important for getting that math right to remember that even post-surgery, what people see when we look at you is COMPLETELY subjective and unique to our own brains and short of each of us taking a picture of you and mushing it around in photoshop so it matches our head-canon of what you look like, you can't ever really know.
You will probably look nearly the same to me, but in my brain the part of your face that makes you you is between the center of your eyes. Like, literally what I key on for identifying you is the couple of inches that span the space between widest point of you eyes when they are normally open, with the same height of that space. Like a rectangle that is used to obscure your identity in reverse.
