Would a facelift help me achieve a slimmer and more symmetrical look?

Question

My bmi is 21.1 I have lost 25kgs in total and my face is still chubby and also very asymmetrical. Im very unhappy with my uneven lips and they look soo much better when im laying down. Would a facelift benefit me? Im young but I like the pulled back look way more it gets rid of my lip asymmetry

Based on your picture, it appears that you could be an excellent candidate for a Medialized External Corner Lip Lift, which is the only procedure capable of rolling out the vermillion of the lip and correcting the asymmetry you mentioned. Additionally, a 3D lip lift and facial liposculpture might be suitable options.

However, please note that an ‘in-person’ consultation will be necessary to provide a definitive recommendation.

I hope this information is helpful. Best of luck!

Your main problem is your lateral lip. You would benefit from a lip lift which can pull up more on the lateral side. This could correct the asymmetry of your face and be much less invasive than a facelift.

Hello, hope you are well. I would not recommend a facelift based on the photo you have attached. Instead, a lip lift can be considered to improve your lip asymmetry.

Facial asymmetry is normal. All people have facial asymmetry. During embryological development, the two sides of the face develop independently from each other, and eventually infuse in the midline. The primary source of asymmetry is in the skeletal structure. Soft tissue coverage tends to be far more consistent from one side to the other.
Avoid treating asymmetry, because doing so well, simply create a new asymmetry.
You do not need a facelift, nor do you have the indications for that procedure.
Accepting your face as normal as your best option.
