Droopy on one side - What can I do to fix an asymmetrical face? (photos)

Question

I realize I have an asymmetrical face that seems droopy maybe due to sleeping on my side or genetics. I am looking for a way to lift my face and was wondering if fillers could help? The asymmetry makes my eyes look lazy.

Hello, and thank you for your question. First, I’d like to point out that asymmetrical facial features are normal and common. We all have them, and they are often the result of genetics, aging, and lifestyle factors. Second, there are cosmetic treatments that can fix asymmetry issues, especially if you feel that correcting them would give you more self-confidence. Botox, for example, can give you a non-surgical brow lift to correct the droopy appearance, while fillers can enhance your other facial features to create balance. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with extensive experience with injectables. Such experts have an edge in both experience and knowledge of facial anatomy, thus helping you achieve the harmony and symmetry you are looking for. They can also ensure natural-looking results and the best possible outcome.

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

We are all asymmetrical to some degree and yours is within normal limits.  Botox and fillers are often used to help bring the face into better balance.  Begin by visiting with an experienced injector to discuss your concerns.

First it is important that you know, that we all have facial asymmetry. Some simple Dysport or Botox could elevate your right brow creating a more symmetrical appearance. This could possible add a bit more symmetry to the upper lid, as well. Your "droopy" side is actually not that pronounced. Find a local provider to discuss your options. Another alternative would be a collagen induction procedure, like Ulthera, over the brow that would tighten the tissue and possibly offer a longer acting Brow Lift.
