What can I do to balance symmetry in my face? (Photos)

Question

I want to get back into filler after not having anything for over a year. I am 18 months post Double jaw surgery,and I'm not familiar with what my face now needs to restore a youthful, balanced look. I also have skin laxity from weightloss so understand results may be limited. What could be recommended to build back confidence here?

It’s completely normal to feel a bit unsure about your facial appearance after significant changes like double jaw surgery and weight loss. What you’re noticing—subtle asymmetry and skin laxity—is very common, and there are safe, non-surgical ways to enhance balance and restore a more youthful, confident appearance.

Here’s a breakdown of options:

Dermal Fillers for Symmetry and Volume:
Fillers can be used strategically to restore volume in areas that appear sunken or uneven, such as the cheeks, temples, or jawline.
They can also help smooth transitions along the midface and lower face, improving overall facial harmony.
Addressing Skin Laxity:
Non-invasive skin tightening treatments, like radiofrequency or ultrasound-based therapy, can help firm loose skin and improve contour.
While they won’t restore lost volume, they can complement filler treatments to give a smoother and lifted appearance.
Lip and Perioral Enhancements:
Subtle enhancement of the lips or areas around the mouth can restore proportion and balance, especially if there’s been volume loss with age or weight changes.
Comprehensive Assessment:
After double jaw surgery, facial anatomy can be altered in ways that are unique to you. A careful evaluation of your bone structure, soft tissue, and skin quality will guide a treatment plan that is natural and tailored to your goals.

The key is gradual, conservative enhancements. Even small adjustments can make a noticeable difference in symmetry and confidence without looking overdone. Over time, these treatments can be combined to achieve a balanced, refreshed look that feels like “you,” just more harmonious.
