For number 4 you can't say anything with PROFILE?

Profile means the face seen from one side. So if you wish to use "profile," you probably should not use the word "facial" with it. I suppose that you could say: The operation gave her a nicer profile. But probably most people would interpret the word in that sentence as "appearance" or "look." If you post a question about the uses of "profile," you will probably get some good answers.

1. Since actual distance is meant, both are correct.
2. Its should be It's.
