Face so much bigger on one side. What are the best options to go about this? (Photo)

Question

Hi my face is substantially bigger on one side. I would like to know the best options to go about this. This is really getting me down. To me it looks like my jawline is offset majorly. And it's worse when pictures are taken (as for me, i see the correct image rather than the reflection i see in the mirror every day).

Asymmetry of the face is more the rule rather than the exception, though in certain cases extensive asymmetry can create aesthetic problems.

In order to get the best possible advice, you need a proper consultation to determine the reasons for asymmetry. Most likely this represents skeletal asymmetry, meaning the bones inside of the face are different in size and shape.

Depending on the aesthetic outcome you want to achieve, there are variety of procedures to help you.

Starting with Non-Surgical you could have Botox to reduce muscle on the right side, or Dermal Fillers to increase volume and size on the left side.

Or you could go down a surgical route, you could remodel the bone with Jaw Reshaping or use Fat Grafting to rebalance.
