Fixing asymmetry and short pointy chin using an implant or genioplasty? (Photos)

Question

The right side of my face is higher than my left, especially noticeable with the angle of the jaw and the corner of my mouth, is there anyway to make the right side match my left? Also, my chin tapers in to a fine point which I feel also lacks in height and protrusion. Is it possible to create a wider, taller and more protruding chin using an implant or genioplasty?

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear swordfishdmjb,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Base don the photographs you seem to have facial asymmetry, which is very common.  You could  consider using a temporary facial fillers which are done by an experience provider.  This should at least temporarily correct the asymmetry, and if it gives you the look that you desire, you can consider having a more permanent solution, like performing having a chin implant which would compensate for the asymmetry.
