This is also causing you subconsciously to keep your left eyebrow elevated which is draws more attention to and creates more asymmetry. you should see an oculoplastic surgeon about repairing this.

Fillers for the face

Good Luck.

Cheek surgery.
It is not possible to tell you anything based on the one photo. You need to send photos of the front and profile and 3/4 view to give a proper answer to your question.
