What would be the best solution for my asymmetrical face? (Photo)

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. 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 morpheus8 or PiXel8 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.

Thank you for posting your question. If you have never had any treatment to address your concerns, non-surgical options may be a great place to start before more extensive surgical options. Dermal fillers are commonly used to address facial asymmetry. For example, Volbella can target asymmetry in the nose, Vollure XC can be used to add volume to improve balance and proportions, and Restylane can help contour irregularities. Dermal fillers can be used in combination treatments to help give you the balance and symmetry you’re looking for.

If you like the results you get with fillers and decide you want a more permanent solution, a jaw implant is another option. These silicone implants come in a variety of shapes and sizes so we can customize your procedure to your specific facial proportions. The best step is to have an in-person consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon that can guide you and talk through different options.

I encourage you to begin by visiting with an expert injector near you to discuss your concerns. A combination of Botox and fillers is often used to help address asymmetry. Botox is typically used around the eyes, the forehead area and the jawline. Fillers are used to add volume or enhance facial contours.
