Is there a solution to fix zygomatic arch facial asymmetry? (photo)

Question

I’ve noticed that on the left side of my face there is a bone, which i believe to be the zygomatic bone, that is much more prominent than that of the right side of my face. Because of this it causes the whole left side of my face to seem asymmetric to my right side. I was wondering if i should go about solving this or if it doesn’t seem noticeable or much worse than others, thanks.

Thank you for your question and photos. Yes, there's a solution for your facial asymmetry. I would recommend fat grafting over the malar and zygomatic bone. This is a long lasting solution and it can be done under local anesthesia only. There are no incisions or signs that you had surgery done. It is way cheaper and lasts longer than using fillers.See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in all aspects of facial plastic surgery including fat augmentation. Good luck.

I do notice the asymmetry you mention but I would not undergo surgery to correct.  The non surgical solution would be fillers on the smaller side but I think it would be throwing away money.
