Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Countour, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
With your significant cheek asymmetry, the critical question is which side do you prefer. That knowledge would determine whether you need a left cheek augmentation or a right cheek reduction.
The most long lasting and potent facial volumizing fillers are Juvederm Voluma® and Sculptra®. As overall facial volumizing is an advanced technique, please consult a board certified aesthetic dermatologist for a consultation.
