I'm looking to add balance to my face, both from the front and side. What are my options? (Photo)

I'm looking to add balance and symmetry to my face, but I struggle to know where to begin. I've considered a thread lift for my eyes - or even potentially blepharoplasty and a brow lift - buccal fat removal, and filler in my lips and chin, but am not actually sure if this is what my face requires.

Thank you for your question. It should be fine to have your thread lift 9 weeks after your Sculptra treatment. At this point, the threads should not affect the Sculptra at all. In fact, you are likely to see even better results by combining these two treatments. Make sure you are working with an...
