What can be done to fix my asymmetric jaw, protruding right side forehead, and uneven hairline?

Question

My right side of my face is quite deficient compared to my left. I have plagiocephaly (not extreme) with the right back side of my head being flattened, and my right forehead protruding out a bit, much akin to the positional plagiocephaly pictures.This resulted in left head tilt torticollis, which has riddled my face with asymmetries. The most notable however being my extremely asymmetric jaw and forehead protrusion + uneven hairline. What PERMANENT solutions are there for this?

Thanks for the great photos, you seem to have a good idea of the areas of asymmetry.  The question of course is what can be done.  There are some options.  While I would like to see a CT/radiographs of the bony structures of your face, typical the treatment would be either facial implants or jaw surgery or a combination of the two.  For example, your upper and lower jaws can be leveled with orthognathic surgery (cutting the upper and lower jaw to reposition them.  The hollowing of your right temple can be address with a temporal implant or possibly filler or fat grafting.  You could also consider facial implants only to attempt to address some the asymmetry. There are some photos of a patient of mine on my page with a significant facial asymmetry treated with orthognathic surgery, genioplasty and cheek implants. 
I would encourage you to have a consultation with an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon if interested in the orthognathic surgery route.  If you choose the facial implant only route, an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon or Plastic Surgeon would be great.
Good luck!
