Face/head is uneven on the right side. What would be the possible solution? (Photos)

Question

As seen in the picture, my right cheekbone is wider than the left. The right temple region is also wider and higher than the left which makes my hairline uneven. Right ear and jawline is also higher which creates further asymmetry. I'd like to add that i do have plagiocephaly (flat head on the back right side) which is causes all these issues. I'm planning on getting a bone cement implant for the back but what could be done on the front to bring symmetry.

Both implants and fillers in the cheeks can create good results for patients. Both can build up the cheeks and create symmetry. You must balance the pros and cons of each procedure and do what you feel is the best decision for you.
Fillers:
Pros: No downtime Reversible Quick
Cons: Temporary More expensive in long run
Implants Pros: Permanent Great for patients with poor bone structure Less expensive overtime
Negative: Risks associated with surgery Possible infection Downtime
A mini-lift would give improvement for initial jowling.
Hope this helps.

First, it's important to understand that facial asymmetry is nearly universal. If you look closely enough, everyone has some degree of facial asymmetry. That being said, there are some things that can be done to improve these differences. Brow asymmetry can be addressed surgically or non-surgically, but Botox is usually the simplest way to address this problem. Cheek and temple asymmetry can usually be improved through injectable fillers like Voluma (or other similar products). While perfect symmetry may not be likely, improvements are definitely possible. Be sure to see an expert injector who specializes in facial aesthetic procedures so that you get the results you are looking for.All the best,

Symmetry of the of the face can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. Fat or implants are great alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The first step is to get an accurate assessment of the skeletal differences between the two sides of your face and skull with a 3D CT scan. With right facial asymmetry differences will exist in just about every facial structure. The two features that can not be changed are the higher ear and the hairline differences. The increased temporal and cheek widths can be reduced and the high jaw angle can be vertically augmented. But the 3D CT scan is critical to make the proper treatment plan for a comprehensive approach your facial and skull asymmetry.
