Uneven Chin Asymmetric Face? (photo)

Hello. i would like to know if there is any solution to my problem. i have been to million doctors already but they all seem to be indifferent. i have uneven jawline...my right side of face is much bigger than my left one.. the central line of my upper teeth doesnt go with the central line of my lower teeth... looks like my jaw slides to the right when i close my mouth.

Asymmetric Chin

Indeed what you see is real and in fact no face is perfectly symmetric. My personal opinion is that the fuller side is your better half thus I would augment the Left side of you jaw-line. Typical options would include and implant which woukld be more or less a permanent solution or semi-permanent fillers such as Aquamid which would get you through 5+ years until you may need a touch up. Glad to help...RAS

Inferior Border Chin Ostectomy For Correction of Facial Asymmetry

Your degree of facial asymmetry is not uncommon and can definitely be improved by a single procedure. The important question is which side of your face do you like better. Based on your inquiry, it sounds like you do not like the longer right side. The asymmetry is very easy to see from the chin back along the right jawline. That could be solved by an inferior border chin-prejowl ostectomy removing the longer portion to match the other side. That is a fairly simple procedure done from inside... more

Non-surgical chin augmentation with fillers is great for asymmetric faces

Wow, I think the reason your doctors have been indifferent is you have a Very attractive face! You have really nice cheek bones and nice proportions in general. I do however see what I would categorize as a mild/moderate asymmetry. Your face could be treated very well with a filler like Radiesse. It would not make it perfectly symmetric (no worries here, no ones' face is absolutely symmetric!), but it would significantly improve the gross asymmetries... more

first of thank you for your replies. Dr. David Mabrie, thank you :) and i wonder how much would such a precedure cost? and could it be done on someone (me:) who is not from the USA. I am actually from Ukraine. is it even possible? Dr. Barry L. Eppley, i mean i like either of my sides lol i just want them to be more similar to each other. but i believe that i got the longer side on the right bcuz i fell down when i was a kid (like 10 years ago) and i hit my chin.. that's where i got my broken tooth root as well... but it seems to hold pretty good. anyways i am afraid it might be some growth or smth... but the xray doesnt show anything , does it? hope i am replying in the right bar lol.
