Why is one of my cheeks bigger than the other? If so, how can I fix them? (Photo)

Question

The right side of my face seems much bigger than the left, how do I fix it :(

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Volume and contouring of the cheeks can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. Implants or fat are alternatives. Botox and radiofrequency can help slim and contour the jawline. Liposuction can help slim the face. Ultherapy, J Plasma and rf treatments can provide skin tightening and lift. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Everyone has some facial asymmetry. Both implants and fillers in the cheeks can create good results for patients. Both can build up the cheeks and create symmetry. You must balance the pros and cons of each procedure and do what you feel is the best decision for you.
Fillers:
Pros: No downtime Reversible Quick
Cons: Temporary More expensive in long run
Implants Pros: Permanent Great for patients with poor bone structure Less expensive overtime
Negative: Risks associated with surgery Possible infection Downtime
Hope this helps

it appears that you, like everybody else, have some facial asymmetry.  Based on this photo, it is very mild and I would consider it normal. If it bothers you too much, an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in facial rejuvenation is recommended. Good luck.

Everyone has some degree of facial asymmetry throughout the entire face.  If one cheek bone is lower than the other, consider fillers placed in the office setting for a temporary augmentation.  For permanent augmentation, consider a cheek implant placed on the lower side to match the opposite side.  For more information and many before and after cheek implant examples, please see the link and the video below

most people have a symmetry to their face and it is very normal. If this concerns you and you would like to try to make it more symmetric you can consider noninvasive options such as facial fillers. There are also surgical options such as fat harvest through Liposuction and then it can be applied to your face to make it more symmetric. Lastly surgical implants made of silicone can be considered.  I recommend seeing a board certified facial plastic surgeon for consultation. In Denver I would recommend Dr. Keith Ladner. I hope this helps, Dr. Farhad Ardeshirpour
