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.

Botox and fillers are great tools to help enhance facial contours, improve symmetry, and give a fresher look. If you are considering jaw surgery, I would wait until you are fully healed from that before considering any facial liposuction. Visit with an experienced injector near you to discuss your options.

First of all I want you to know that you are gorgeous just as you are. Humans in general are not perfectly symmetrical, just about every person has some degree of asymmetry.As for will botox or filler fix your facial asymmetry, both products can make improvement to some asymmetry, depending on the areas that you would like to see balanced. Additionally PDO lifting threads can also help by lifting tissue that may appear heavier or droopy on one side. Having a consultation with an experienced provider is key to figuring out what would work best for you and by which modality.

Hi Catcaity, The first thing to consider is the jaw surgery. If you are having any major jaw surgery, this may alter the appearance of the soft tissue of your face (especially under your chin). I would discuss this with the surgeon performing your jaw surgery. Cheek or malar augmentation is a great treatment and would not be greatly affected by a lower jaw surgery. Hard to know if you would benefit from botox unless we know the specific reason / treatment area your provider is trying to address. Remember it is normal to be asymmetric, we all are! Best.

Hello, thanks for your question! I do believe this is a good recommendation. It appears the right side of your face has more volume. You could use cheek filler (we use Voluma in our office) to lift the left side of your face to make it more symmetrical to the right. Lip filler can absolutely give you more of a plump lip, but this is more of a personal choice. You have a nice size lip at baseline. I hope this helps, have a great day!

Hello, Thanks for your question and photos. I don't see serious problems with symmetry. You can have great results using a combination of dermal fillers and botox. Consult an expert esthetic board-certified doctor in your area. Good luck!

Your face looks very nice (and symmetrical) now. I feel that some cheek fillers would certainly make them closer in symmetry. I do not see the need for Botox and chin (or neck) liposuction I am not sold on either. A physical exam and interview would answer many more questions.
