Can a thread lift on one side help with facial asymmetry? (Photos)

Question

Hi doctors. My face is asymmetrical. I can correct it by pulling my cheek to one side. My question is, can this be achieved by a thread lift procedure obviously only applied to one side of my face? I realise this question is a little left of centre - so to speak. Any insight is much appreciated. Thank you.

There is more than one treatment option to address your facial asymmetry. For situations like yours, I have found that threads can produce more of a lifting affect than filler injections alone. Since we are all naturally asymmetric (sometimes more or less pronounced), this is a common problem that we deal with in all our patients.

Thank you for your question. Judging from the image you provided, I do see some slight asymmetry. In my experience, fillers injected by a board-certified practitioner do an excellent job of correcting asymmetry and adding volume. Fillers are semi-permanent, so it might also be of interest to consider Sculptra, which lasts for up to two years and has been used for years to improve facial volume. I recommend making a consultation appointment where the right certified professional can make suggestions based on your desired outcome. Good Luck!

Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, 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

Thank you for your question and photo. Facial asymmetries are best disguised with facial fillers such as hyaluronic acid filler that result in immediate improvements that get better in the next 2 weeks. Make sure you go to an experienced provider.
