Half my seems to be getting skinnier. is it possible or the face to completely sink in & cause a disability or damage? (photo)

Question

I recently noticed that half my face is getting thinner and when i touch the area it even feels thinner. What could cause this? And is it possible or the face to completely sink in and cause a disability or damage? What could also help to correct this and make it more even again?

Jose Perez-Gurri, MD, FACS · Answer

Hi and thanks for the question. Please understand that symmetry in the human being simply does not exist. There will always be differences between one side of the face and the other. I was unable to detect any significant difference in your right and left sides. Instead, what I did noticed were some very attractive features. You have very pretty lips that play well with the distance to the base of your  attractive nose ( at least from the front view). You've got beautifully arched eyebrows. Pictures only tell one side of the story, if you are very concerned you should set up an appointment with a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and have a physical exam, there is no substitute.I wish the best. Good luck.

Everyone's face has some degree of asymmetry. Your photos are in the range of normal. If concerned see a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation.

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

From the photograph There appears to be nothing wrong with your beautiful face.Don't be to self-critical and by all means don't let anyone operate on.

Jeffrey K. Scott, MD · Answer

Your area of concern is not visible on these photos. Almost everyone has some degree of asymmetry to their facial bony structures or there overlying soft tissues. However if you are concerned you certainly could obtain an evaluation by a PS. There are a number of soft tissue filler options that are currently available.

Posted photo DO NOT demonstrate what you are concerned about. Best to seek IN PERSON visits. A thought might be Juvederm's Voluma filler injections...
