 As you are in the UK, you may qualify for surgical correction on the NHS. You should go to your GP and discuss the options - basically cosmetic procedures are possible when it has been identified that there are significant psychological problems associated with it (i.e. it causes you distress). It is not an overnight solution however because the waiting list for this sort of thing maybe long. Talk to your GP and ask for a referral. Alternatively, there is the private route - Harley St is a good place to start looking for a specialist. Skin laser therapy maybe appropriate for you if you have scar tissue remaining from a cleft lip procedure done years ago. You would probably require written parental consent and they would have to counter-sign any credit agreement before you are 18 but it is worth exploring the options.

i know it wont change my life or change who i am and i actually really like who i am. i think im a nice girl, a lot of fun and i have a really big heart. i just hate my face and want a normal one. its hard to explain without showing a picture of me lol but if you saw it you'd understand. i just want to look like how i know i should look cos who i am on the inside and who i am on the outside do not match at all!

It can be done. Look at the stars, they keep the plastic surgeons in business.
I want you to know this though. All though you can change your appearance, it doesn't change who you are. Your beauty will be found on the inside, not what you look like on the outside.

Is this medical condition something that if you do change you're look, it continues to work against you?
It's something that is possible, but not guaranteed. I'd research it to find out what it will take to do this for you. Also if you decide this is for you, research the person who is going to do it. Make sure their specialized, and have a long, positive track record.
