I have an asymmetrical jaw with left jaw bigger than the right one. Is there any way to fix this without double jaw surgery?

Question

My left jaw is bigger than the right one.. Im completely happy woith my left side so i want to change right side. What are the options which can add more symmetry to my face.

Facial asymmetries exist in everyone. Some are related to bone structure, muscle size, or fat dispersion. There's two nonsurgical options you can go with here. You can have Botox injections of your Masseter muscles to reduce the size of one side to appear similar to the other. The second option is using Filler injections to build volume in your jawline to achieve symmetry. There isn't one option that is better than the other, the decision falls on you and your opinions of which side appears more pleasing to you. I've helped many women alter their jaw contours for more satisfactory and photogenic outcomes. I strongly advise that you seek an experienced Facial Plastics injector who has thorough understanding of contour treatments and facial anatomy.

You can have the asymmetry improve with the help of Fillers or Autologous Fat Transplant. Please find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area who can help you with your concerns. All The Best !

I would recommend microfat grafting the smaller side. Fat graft offers the precision not easily obtained with implants (which are difficult to place into the jaw area). In some cases, you may need more than one session to get a final, permanent result. Fillers can also be done every two years or so.

Eric YK Li, MD · Answer

Small differences in facial volume are completely normal - usually one side of the face is larger than the other anyways.  In your specific case, you could consider small volume fat grafting to the smaller side, or Botox to the larger side.  Both are ways to achieve a more symmetrical jawline and lower facial shape and each options has its advantages and disadvantages.

David J. Kiener, MD · Answer

I would not suggest rushing into jaw surgery for your facial asymmetry. Without a side view, or look at your occlusion, I cannot fully assess your situation. I would suggest trying a filler along the right side of your jaw first as it is temporary and reasonably safe.
