What could make my "bad side" more like my good side? Filler, surgery, etc? (photos)

Thank you for submitting your question and photos. What you’re referring to is likely caused by facial asymmetry. While perfect symmetry is difficult to achieve, you may benefit from a combination of dermal fillers and neuromodulator treatments to bring balance to the face.
Dermal fillers can restore volume to target areas for a lifted and sculpted appearance, while a neuromodulator such as Botox can treat overactive muscles. Together, this dual approach may bring the desired balance to your face that you’re looking for. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector who can suggest the best approach.

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank-you for your query. The two sides of the face are never the same, in other words, they are sisters not identical twins. The differences on the two sides of your face appear to be within normal range. If, however, you want some minor modifications, you may wish to consider fillers, as these are both reversible and the changes can be made less or more, with you looking on and directing the physician, as to what you are looking for. I would recommend a detailed discussion with an experienced Board certified plastic surgeon, with 3 D pictures and other studies, for understanding your facial anatomy and addressing your concerns. All the best!
