I had dermal filler in left nasolabial fold and temple 13 months ago,1ml on each side of the temple. I was happy with the result, after 6 months I noticed one side lost some volume and the corner of my mouth was slightly lower on the same side. I was told my my practitioner that I couldn't have a top up until 12 months. At 12 months he said the asymmetry wasn't bad at all and that he would never put more filler in one side to overcorrect. What would you recommend. Thanks

Answer: Facial Harmonization is a Tailored Treatment, specially when correcting asymmetries Thank you for sharing your concerns. I understand how frustrating facial asymmetry can be, especially when it becomes more noticeable over time. Facial asymmetry is natural and tends to become more pronounced with age due to several factors, including the loss of deep fat pads, changes in bone structure, and the downward movement of superficial fat pads. These changes might have prompted your initial decision to get fillers, especially if you were concerned about areas like the nasolabial folds. If you were satisfied with the results for the first six months but later noticed changes, factors like sleeping predominantly on one side or stronger muscle contractions on one side of your face could contribute to the asymmetry. These are common concerns. In cases like yours, correcting asymmetry with fillers is a common and effective approach. Using different quantities of filler on each side is a standard practice for addressing imbalances. When it comes to temple fillers, it’s often beneficial to schedule multiple sessions to gradually achieve the desired result. This minimizes the amount of filler placed in one session and reduces discomfort, especially in areas like the temples, which can affect chewing muscles. For nasolabial folds, my personal preference is to focus on treating areas like the temples and cheekbones to lift and rejuvenate the face overall, rather than directly filling the folds unless absolutely necessary. This approach often provides a more natural and harmonious outcome. However, the photo you provided has uneven lighting, which makes it challenging to fully assess your features. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation, including a detailed facial scan, to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Best wishes,

Answer: Post filler asymmetry The amount of fillers that you’ve had placed into your face is way too small to create any kind of noticeable asymmetry. Asymmetry exists in every single individual, and it becomes much more noticeable to that individual after having had any kind of facial treatment. I think you should feel comfortable with your current doctor And continue treatments as necessary. Just to prove my point, did you know that the left side of your face is wider by at least 1 cm as compared to the right. Did you know that your left ear is approximately 6 mm higher than the right. I’m sure you’re not aware of those things. When trying to tell the doctor that something changed in the negative way, I would always go over your pre-procedure photographs. I hope this is helpful and good luck from Leonard Grossman MD organic Plastic Surgery.
