The experts on the Photorestoration board at www.rootschat.com really know how to do exactly what you are looking for.. They know about photographers, and they will be able to check the nose and ears etc... Sign in and Read the instructions for uploading your photos they must be no larger than 500 kb., too small and it makes it difficult. They will probably be able to explain your concerns as well.
