Facial Plastic Surgery: Q&A
Ask a QuestionWhat Will Fix my Witchy Smile and Asymmetrical Face? (Photos)
Besides my nose (getting a revision rhino to narrow tip and raise columella) I am pleased with the left side of my face. My cheek has a nice apple to it when I smile. But my right side gets a C-shaped line going all the way from my nostril and around down to near my chin, and my nose scrunches up, causing me to look witchy. What is causing this asymmetry and how can it be corrected?

Botox and Fillers for facial symmetry
Injectable fillers are excellent options to reduce the depth of the lines around your mouth and to help achieve better symmetry. You could certainly have a little bit of filler injected on the deeper fold.
That said, I think you have a great smile and that the difference is not particularly obvious. I really wouldn't focus on it too much!

As mentioned, you should carefully think any procedure before undergoing it. While surgery is very effective for many people, we need to make sure that your are an appropriate candidate before jumping into new procedures.
Good Luck.

Wow, you are kinda tough on yourself.
I am concerned that you will get yourself wrecked. It is easy to begin to think that any feature of the face can be altered to our liking with surgery. It is sometimes true. However, a better out come is just one possible outcome. It is also possible that surgery may not come out the way you hoped. That stuff that surgeons tell you before surgery as part of informed consent. We are really telling you that we don't have all the control you think about how you...
