Facial symmetry and slanted lips? (Photo)

Question

Hi there I know it’s impossible to achieve 100% facial symmetry but I’m really a bit unhappy how my right side is bigger and more defined with more volume than my left side of my face I would like to even it out and make the look more symmetrical. I also have slanted lips where my right side goes up and the left goes down I would like these balanced out and more symmetrical too, if I could get pointed in the right direction for this it would help me a lot thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your concerns and your photo. Achieving perfect facial symmetry is indeed challenging, but there are several options available that can help improve the balance and harmony of your facial features.

Dermal Fillers: These can be used to add volume to the areas that are less defined, helping to create a more symmetrical appearance. Fillers can be precisely injected to enhance the contours of your face and balance out asymmetries.

Botox: For your slanted lips, Botox injections can help by relaxing the muscles that may be pulling one side of your lips downward. This can create a more even and balanced look.

Facial Contouring Procedures: Depending on the degree of asymmetry, surgical options such as fat grafting, cheek implants, or other contouring procedures might be considered. These are more invasive but can provide more permanent solutions.

Lip Augmentation: To address the asymmetry in your lips, dermal fillers can be used to add volume and shape, creating a more balanced appearance.

Consultation with a Specialist: I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetics. They can assess your specific needs and recommend the most appropriate treatments for you.

Remember, each face is unique and some degree of asymmetry is natural. It’s important to set realistic expectations and work with a skilled professional to achieve the best possible outcome.

Volume asymmetry can be improved using fillers.  There are different types of fillers available that are designed to address specific concerns, so you may have the best result using a combination of fillers.  Sculptra is also an option for longer term results.  I've included a video on this product that I hope you find helpful.
