Facial asymmetry is not an  uncommon physical finding where one side of the face appears smaller or larger than the other. This asymmetry is often due to differences in the soft tissues and bony structures of the face. To correct asymmetry, it's crucial to identify the underlying cause and address it appropriately.

One common cause of facial asymmetry is a difference in the projection of the cheekbones. When one cheekbone is smaller than the other, unilateral cheekbone augmentation with fillers can help create a more symmetrical facial appearance. If the asymmetry is due to one side of the jaw being smaller than the other, either jaw augmentation on the smaller side with fillers or jaw volume reduction on the larger side with Botox injections to the masseter can also improve symmetry.

Regarding soft tissues, asymmetric buccal fat pads are a frequent cause of facial asymmetry. Buccal fat pads are pockets of fat in the lower cheeks that contribute to facial fullness. If one buccal fat pad is larger than the other, it can make that side of the face appear fuller. In such cases, unilateral or asymmetric buccal fat pad reduction or removal can help address the asymmetry.

In summary, achieving a more symmetrical face requires identifying the specific causes of asymmetry and addressing them accordingly with one or multiple plastic surgery procedures.

I hope this helps!
