How much roughly would it cost to make my face symmetric? (Photo)

Question

Honestly I have never seen such asymmetic face as mine in the whole universe! It is terribly noticeable especially when I record video of myself (but it's not my concern to have a good face for videos). And the main cause has been my bad sleeping habit (only on right side) during my teenage years on which apparently my face has been growing and shaping itself. So since it is very severe I was wondering how much it would be to fix my cheekbones, cheek soft tissues, and upper jaw, and also eyelid.

You do not have the most asymmetric face in the whole universe as I have a number of patients with congenital, post-traumatic and hereditary deformities. Now that things are placed into perspective, you appear to have, from the limited photo you have provided a subclinical hemifacial microsomia. 90% of the population has this in which one side of the face is slightly shorter than the other. Part of the differences are skeletal and part are soft tissue. Without the privilege of a clinical exam it is hard to place a price tag on procedures that would move you from concern to happiness as there are a variety of minimally invasive approaches that could be employed in the right circumstances.Be healthy and be well,
