Hello doctors, I have a quick question. I've been insecure ever since people have mentioned how I have a jaw imbalance in my face. They ask why my left looks "slumped" as they would say. This personally takes a hit at my self esteem and refrains me from even talking to girls. I was wondering if there is any type of filler that would work in longevity with my issue as I want to take action of the issue? Or any type action that could take effect? Thanks alot for your help.
Answer: Management of asymmetrical jawline There are numerous options in management of jaw symmetry. I annot adequately assess whether the asymmetry is muscle or bone related from a photo. In either event, the larger side can be reduced - with Botulinum toxin to reduce the muscle bulk or operative bone reduction. Or (and this would be my preference since the strong, square, masculine jaw is generally considered aesthetically desireable in men), the "slumped" side can be augmented using hyaluronic acid filler (Voluma, Juvederm Ultra Plus or Revanesse Versa) or calcium hydroxapatite filler (Radiesse) and/or collagen stimulation/remodeling with Sculptra, PDO threads, and/or fractional radiofrequency (Morpheus8). An implant, placed operatively by a plastic surgeon could also be considered.

Answer: Even out an asymmetrical jawline Renato, You can approach this in two ways or a combination of both. I would start with trying to shrink the masseter on the large side with Botox/Dysport/Xeomin. If need be you could add filler to other side later. One thought-If you chew gum on one side all day long you could be strengthening one side over the other but I have not seen this much difference from chewing.
