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.
we are often consulted to see a patient with a facial assymetry due to muscle imbalances in the face. By considering botox on the stronger side can create symmetry and a more even appearing face.Sometimes bells palsy will present in this way as an example.
The assymmetry looks to be mildYou can consider Botox or fillers to selectively relax the muscles or reduce assymmetryMay also be a good option to not do anything- achieving perfect symmetry may not be possible and the you may find the process unrewarding
This is a reported complication in the literature of Botox injections in that region. If you liked your results from the crow's feet injection and are willing to try it again, see if the same thing happens. If it recurs, then you know that you are more prone to dry eyes after Botox than other...
This bulging above the eyebrows is due to your corrugator muscles. Sometimes when patients get Botox to their forehead only their corrugator muscles take over and are hyperactive. In other patients, the corrugator muscles are just naturally very strong resulting in the "11" frown lines between...
I would highly recommend getting a formal evaluation with and treatment from a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and expert in facial sculpting. An experienced physician will be able to determine which technique will give you the result you're looking for. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
