If you could design your own body and hit a button and have it immediately implemented, would you keep your natural self or would you make changes?
We'll just all assume that every person who gets this would make themselves early twenties with flawless skin, perfect organs, appendages and functionality, and no excess weight.
My question is, would you change yourself from your genetic baseline, and if so, how?

90 millions years of evolution, or you: who knows better?
It looks funny on pictures, but i bet everything would go south if you would straighten it out or reorganize it.
If you don't know the intend why it looks as it currently looks i would not touch it. even if you know why it looks like that and you can somehow compensate those effects, i would not do this on my own body for the first time...
I think one thing I would change is that the nostrils would use a slightly different air path then the swallowing mechanism, so that if you were to choke on food you could still breathe and get air into your lungs to expel the food.
Pretty sure those changes were made to get us better vocal cords, allowing us more range for speech. Here's the first link I found that talks about it.
