It has been really disturbing me. It reminds me of how a 50 year olds skin would look. I am in my 20s and I haven't noticed this until this year. I am a runner, I exercise daily and I have very low body fat. Probably less than 6%. If I were to gain weight would this help? Is my only option fillers? Would you recommend HA fillers or fat grafting? Would lasers work or anything else? I would prefer not to get HA fillers but go a more natural way. What can be done? Thank you.

Answer: Correcting face asymmetry and volume loss with dermal fillers Thanks for sharing your question and photo. Facial asymmetries are common and can be corrected using dermal fillers. I often tell my patients that the two sides of the face develop as siblings and not twins. That is too say that we all have facial asymmetries. In your case, I would probably recommend a biostimulatory filler like Sculptra Aesthetic which works by stimulating your skin to produce more collagen. Since it's your own collage providing the "fill", the results will be more subtle, natural and gradual. Good luck.

Answer: Facial symmetry is beauty! Hi Natty, Facial symmetry is key to beauty! In fact, the Internet is full of studies showing that our brains interpret facial symmetry as beauty and those with greater symmetry are viewed as more attractive people. So how do we get there? One way is through fillers. But, you can start with less invasive treatments improving your skin quality. And what it comes to us using great skin care products available only in doctor offices. And I can't empathizeven that enough. What you get at the mall is not what you will find in your doctor's office. You want products high in vitamins, antioxidants, growth factors and retinols. In addition, lasers, microneedling and IPL can get you beautiful results faster and longer lasting. Check out some studies done with the Rohrer Laser. They show great results. Take care, Dr. Onir

Answer: Aging /asymmetric face faces are not symmetric. The fact that you are thin probably accentuates this difference. Sun exposure will also affect how we age so make sure when you are running you are using sunscreen and a hat. Dermal fillers would be a good choice as they will restore volume and can restore symmetry to your face. hyaluronic acid is found in our skin naturally and in the hands of a good injector you should achieve a natural look. fat grafting is a good option as well.With a body fat of less than 6% it may be difficult to obtain enough fat to inject. You should consult with an experienced provider who can advise you.
