Can a fat transfer fix post-procedure asymmetry? Any other options besides fillers? (photos)

Great question. And thank you for the photo. Yes, fat is a fantastic option to improve facial symmetry. While no one is created perfectly symmetric and no plastic surgeon can make someone totally symmetrical, fat grafting is a fantastic tool to improve both sides of the face. Keep in mind, the face is composed of bones, muscles, fat, and skin. Thus the challenge is to improve facial asymmetries when the facial asymmetry is are muscle, skin, or bone. But in skilled hands it can be accomplished.

Yes, micro/nano fat grafting can be done to help improve your facial asymmetry. Fees in the $5,000 ranges. Best to seek ONLY in person opinions.

The human face is highly asymmetric. Probably about 2% of people have something that resembles symmetrical faces. Facial symmetry is almost always based on skeletal structure and should be left alone.

Attempting to address skeletal asymmetry with soft tissue manipulation will simply create to asymmetries.

You are a textbook example of why symmetry should be left alone. Human brain is Accustomed to seeing facial asymmetry as normal and typically perceives apparently symmetrical face is looking odd or strange.

Even great artists throughout history have understood this and incorporated asymmetry into face and body classic works of art.

I suggest you stop while you’re ahead.

Lastly, when making an assessment on the outcome of a procedure we always need to see you before and after pictures. If you don’t have before and after pictures the mask your provider to forward the once they took.

For young men I often tell him to spend less time looking in the mirror bed for women I suppose that is one of the virtues of life.
