Facial asymmetry in jaw / nose / eyes. What can be done?

Question

My jaw is asymmetrical and my eyes are not aligned correctly. The middle of my chin doesn’t align with my nose and the nose itself is slightly titled to the side. One of my eyes is also more closed and lower than the other along with the brow. I’ve been advised to get Botox for the lower brow, however when I hold that brow up ( so the are even ) that only accentuates that one eye is lower than the other. I’m aware I need otoplasty too , but that is a whole other post.. please advise.

We are all asymmetrical to some degree which adds to our unique look.  If it is to a degree that it is bothersome to you, fillers and Botox can be used to help improve it.  Botox can be used to even the brows.  Fillers can be used to enhance contours and camouflage volume discrepancies.

fillers can help for symmetry. if you want more contouring, surgery maybe bets option.

most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift.  an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done.

For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed.  Options include:
1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face
2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping.
3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender
4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined

Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma.

See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi there. You can start with something that is not as invasive as surgery.. so filler is the way to go. Discuss with a board certified doctor all your concerns. It is mostly genetics , especially the issue with the eyes and eyebrows, but you are beautiful just as you are.

The amount of facial asymmetry you see in your face is something that every single individual on this planet has. The asymmetry is at the level of the skeleton of the head (skull) and body. There is nothing that should be even attempted to correct this form of asymmetry. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery
