You have several options about improving symmetry of your cheeks. They include augmenting the deficient side with fat transfer, fillers (Restylane, Jeuvederm, Radiesse, Sculptra, and others), or an implant. You can also reduce the prominent side by various techniques. See a board certified Plastic Surgeon for consultation to discuss which option is best for you.
Asymmetry between the two cheeks can be improved using fillers or cheek implants. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can best assist you in achieving the results you seek.
Asymmetrical cheeks are best treated by placing a silastic cheek implant on the hollow side to match the opposite high side. This surgery can be done under local or general anesthesia, depending upon patient's desire. Fillers are only a temporary fix
The thing you have to decide is which cheek side do you like the best. In other words, should you reduce the larger side or augment the smaller side? Cheek augmentation uses a small implant while cheek reduction is done through either burring or an osteotomy depending upon where the asymmetry on the cheek is located.
Aesthetically speaking, I do a great deal of Cheek Augmentation with fillers (I prefer Perlane) and Cheek Implants. Every face is asymmetric including the cheek area and this alone is not an indication for cheek augmentation. Facial beauty, IMHO based upon my book on the subject "What's Your Number..The Palmer Code" is not based on facial symmetry but the appearance of ideally sized and shaped aesthetic features, of which the cheeks are the most important. Without pictures, of your face, there is no way for me to tell if your cheeks are or are not aesthetically ideal. Hope this helps.
Why do movies stars and others have a "good side?" It's due to asymmetry which is normal. Tweaks can be accomplished with fillers or implants, but I counsel against spending a fortune seeking perfect facial symmetry. Improvement, yes. Perfection, only those for unlimited money.
Asymmetry is a common finding but can be improved when this is distracting. The smaller cheek can be augmented or the more projected cheek reduced. Alternative treatments will be described depending on your appearance and aesthetic goals.
From your picture, it does appear that you have relatively flat cheek bones. It is possible that cheek implants or fillers could help with your appearance. You would need to see a physician who performs cheek augmentation to determine if you are a candidate for implants or fillers....
This is a difficult question to answer without seeing you or pictures of you. Generally, I would discourage people from trying to thin the cheeks, because it will get thinner with age. Many people that do have procedures to thin the cheeks will actually look worse as they age, due to...
Hello and thank you for your question. Keep in mind that everyone has a degree of asymmetry to their faces. However, if yours bothers you, there are nonsurgical treatment options to create more balance. Dermal fillers would likely be a good choice for you. This injectable treatment is quick and...
Dear winterwolf, This can happen during surgery no matter how many precautions we take, and thankfully it is rare You should bring this up to your surgeon so he/she can recommend treatment Best regards, Nima Shemirani
Thank you for your question and photos. Based on the images, it appears cheek implants might be a good choice for you to create more fullness and definition in the midface. It is also possible you would benefit from buccal fat pad removal, which is a surgical procedure that removes the small...
