I took a photo of myself over the weekend and realized my smile is incredibly asymmetric. One side of my face does one thing, and the other something else! I recently had my diastema of 25 years corrected, so smiling is something I'm no longer embarrassed to do. But this made me realize the asymmetry of my face. What can be done to fix this? Botox? I like the RIGHT (in photo) side of my smile better than the left. It has more definition, the left side just doesn't do anything...help?

As a specialist in facial aesthetics and a board certified plastic surgeon, I hear concerns like yours quite often. As we age, we tend to lose facial volume, and in addition, the face (thanks to gravity) begins to fall forward and down. In women, this translates into a square, masculine jawline...
Dear patient, I recommend a minimally invasive procedure for you. I have treated a few patients who had your situation. Conservative treatment is the best treatment. Laser lipo of the fatty pocket with laser resurfacing or Thermage would be a good option.
