Cheek Assymetry Due To Face Scoliosis. What Are My Best Options?

Dear experts My thought is that i have a severe face scolliosis. In opinion of maxillo facial surgeons i have very flat cheeks paranasal and on the cheek prominences. my left side of the face is flatter in confront of the right and this will simulate a exopthalmus on the left eye. They will cut the bones of my cheeks and replace it more forward. Submalar implants are the idea of another plastic surgeon. I'm indecisive which procedure? and if the movement of bones is not too invasive?Thanks

Facial asymmetry

It is actually fairly common in its mild form, and most people have some facial asymmetry. Sounds like, perhaps, yours is more severe. If you consider surgical correction, please, discuss with the surgeons their prior experience and success rate in cases similar to yours. They should be able to show you similar cases before and after photos.... more
