Will filler/botox improve my facial symmetry? (Photos)

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.

Thank you for posting your question. Dermal fillers can be an excellent option for some of your concerns like symmetry, cheek definition, chin augmentation, and volumizing shallow contours. Since jaw surgery can alter your facial tissue, it may be best to wait until after surgery and consult with both your surgeon and a board-certified dermatologist. An expert dermatologist can create a custom plan to treat various areas of the face with different dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane.

First off, all humans have a slightly asymmetrical face. This is a normal and beautiful human feature. If you use a computer to manipulate an attractive person's face to make both sides mirror images of each other, they don't look as attractive. That being said, getting closer to symmetric typically improves overall aesthetics. Yes, an experienced injector can use Botox slightly differently between the sides of your face to create more symmetry in your brows and around your eyes, and filler placed strategically can help create a more symmetric appearance to your face. Best to be seen in person by an experienced injector to really be able to see the nuances in your face and how it moves to develop a plan.
