The human face and body are both highly asymmetric on all people.
Your degree of asymmetry is very much within normal and is no different than all other people.
The human brain is accustomed to seeing faces as asymmetrical and we perceive it as normal because all people have a symmetrical faces.
This is why other people do not see you as having an asymmetrical face and you don’t see other people as having facial asymmetry.
You’ve noticed yours and your assumption is most likely that the face is supposed to be symmetrical which it is not.
Each side of the face develops independently of the other side during embryological development and eventually fused in the midline.
Facial aesthetics are primarily based on bone structure and facial asymmetry is also primarily based on facial skeletal structure. soft tissue coverage tends to be far more symmetrical and consistent from person to person.
There’s no indication for any treatment in regards to asymmetry in your case. If you’d like to have treatments for other reasons that may be an indication but purely for the sake of asymmetry it will not solve your concerns.
Attempts of correcting facial asymmetry with soft tissue manipulation typically simply just creates a second asymmetry because the primary asymmetry is based on bone structure.
Your mandible a slightly small in comparison to your maxilla. In particular the body of the mandible. The front of them in the bowl called the mentalis or chin projects very nicely and projecting this further with a chin implant or create a witches chin and it’s not in your favor.

The projection of your chin itself is sufficient in both vertical and horizontal directions. forward advancement of your chin will deepen your labor your mental sulcus or worsen your labiomental angle.
Consider having a few consultations with oral surgeons if you want an assessment of the relationship between your mandible and maxilla including dental occlusion.
Oral surgeons tend to see things more from a facial skeletal perspective while plastic surgeons typically see things more from a soft tissue perspective.
Both specialties contribute to facial aesthetics. Sometimes one specialty is better than the other depending on what the issue is.
