Something is off about my face - how to get facial harmony? (Photo)

Question

I feel like there is something off about my face. I know one side of my face is larger and my smile is lopsided but I think my general face shape, nose lips and eyes are ok but all together something doesn’t look right. I what can I do to have better proportions and facial harmony? I know I need to fix my teeth so that isn’t anything I would like to address

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 your question and for providing photos. A combination of Botox and dermal filler injections may produce the results you’re looking for. Though perfect symmetry is impossible, these formulas can work together to balance your facial features and enhance your natural beauty. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector. They will be able to discuss your aesthetic goals with you and determine the best combination of treatment options to help you achieve them.

We are all asymmetrical to some degree and yours is mild.  We can use Botox or other neuromodulators and fillers to help bring better balance to the face.  I encourage you to meet with an experienced injector near you to discuss your concerns and learn more about treatment.

Hi there,I would recommend lateral cheek projection, and augmentation to lift lower face and based on these non-profile pics, I would recommend chin augmentation. You may also like jaw filler to make more of a V-shape to the face.Hope that helps.

Every single individual on this planet has facial and body asymmetry. Unless the asymmetry is  absolutely disfiguring, it should not be corrected. You have a slightly crooked smile but it’s also absolutely normal and if you look carefully at the individuals, you know, you’ll see the same. You’re beautiful the way you are and you should enjoy your life to the fullest. I hope to self singer like from there, city plastic surgery.
