As you can see in the pictures one side of my face is clearly larger than the other. My left cheek looks swollen and my jaw is not alligned. My left jaw sticks out and one side of my chin is not alligned. Also, my jaw clicks when I open my mouth wide. My teeth are not alligned. I have an overbite on the left side and an underbite on the right side. As I get older it seems as though it's getting worse. How can I make my face more symmetrical? Everytime I look in the mirror all I can see is a lopsided face.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Facial Balancing I would recommend seeing your plastic surgeon for a full physical exam of the head and neck including your teeth. A CAT scan or CT Scan may be helpful in evaluating your bony anatomy. We can then work together to formulate a good plan based on your issues which may involve either custom facial implants, facial fat transfer, facelift, buccal fat removal or orthodontic work followed by bony surgery such as jaw advancement or setback.

Answer: Asymmetric face Great question. Facial asymmetry is normal. However, if it's bothersome to you, I would recommend being evaluated by an OMFS (oral maxillofacial surgeon). The symptoms of jaw clinking and over/underbite is best evaluated by a surgeon who specializes in the jaw. If it's just a matter of cosmetics, than filler can give you a more balanced look.

Answer: Asymmetry of the lower face and jaw Thank you for your questions and pictures. You appear to have a lovely, unique face and it is completely normal to have asymmetry of the two sides of the face. Nobody looks at you the way you look at yourself, and we humans tend to be very critical of ourselves. If you are having issues with your jaw, you might consider seeing a maxillofacial surgeon to determine the cause. If you are looking for a cosmetic improvement, and to help with symmetry of the lower face, you might consider some filler along the jawline. A physical exam would be needed to properly diagnose you and to determine the right choice. For the cosmetic issues, I recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and see what your options are.
