44 yo old with lip and jaw asymmetry. Right sagging jowl, tried 3 sessions of Morpheus 8 which did nothing for the right jowl, tried 5 sessions of microneedling, Botox in the DOA always migratedand gives me a crooked smile. I’m sick of having providers suggest things that never work and I’m sick of wasting thousands of dollars. Would I be a candidate for a mini lift on my right jowl? Don’t want to spend any more $ on treatment that doesn’t work.

Answer: Mini lift ideal for mini jowl You have a very minor jowl on your right side, which should be smoothed and your jaw line straightened with a mini facelift. This can easily be performed under local anesthesia, with or without sedation, and has a quick recovery. The mini lift may not address your lip asymmetry, depending on what your major concern is. A detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon can help you understand how much symmetry you can possibly achieve. Best wishes.

Answer: Unilateral jowling and facial asymmetry: solutions? Facial asymmetry is present in 100% of humans and small differences such as you have are not fully correctible. A deep plane minilift with improvement on both sides of the face would correct the early jowling you have in one side but it is not possible to permanently tighten one side more than the other because the two sides of the face are in continuity and tension or tightening will even out over time even if unilateral tension is applied at the time of surgery. However, I think you are an excellent candidate and would get a long term correction
