My face is obviously quite asymmetrical, especially in photos, is there any procedure to at least make it less obvious? (Photo)

Question

My eyes look like they’re at different levels on my face, and one side of my face is definitely wider than the other. It feels like both sides of my face developed completely different from each other. I don’t expect to be perfectly symmetrical but what can be done to lessen the appearance of the difference? It’s so horribly obvious

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

There are a variety of techniques that can be used to correct facial asymmetry. A more temporary approach includes dermal fillers (e.g., Sculptra, Voluma, and Radiesse), while fat grafting, use of permanent fillers (Aquamid, Bellafill ) and facial implants would offer a more permanent solution. To address your concerns I would recommend having an in person consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetics.

Hello, Thank you for your question. Asymmetry is very common. It appears that dermal fillers could easily address your concerns. Please consult with a local physician in person to determine a specific course of action. Good luck!

facial asymmetries cna be improved with fillers, threads, implants, fat or surgery to change facial bones. I suggest you see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Both implants and fillers in the cheeks can create good results for patients.  Both can build up the cheeks and create symmetry.  You must balance the pros and cons of each procedure and do what you feel is the best decision for you.
Fillers:
Pros: No downtime Reversible Quick
Cons: Temporary More expensive in long run
Implants Pros: Permanent Great for patients with poor bone structure Less expensive overtime
Negative: Risks associated with surgery Possible infection Downtime
I hope this helps.

Hi there. Your pictures show mild asymmetry and that is totally normal. No face is perfectly symmetric, but I use Botox and soft tissue fillers like Sculptra and Voluma to balance the face. 
I recommend seeing an advanced filler injector in your area for what you are describing. Best wishes, Dr. Sawyer

Larry Lickstein, MD · Answer

I agree with my colleagues that there are a variety of approaches that could be considered to address your concerns.  Tissue can be augmented, redraped, or repositioned.  Possible solutions may be as simple as fillers performed in the office setting, to surgical approaches, that while more complex are also more permanent.  Make certain that you have thoughtfully considered your features, and be very clear which side of your face you prefer.  Then I would recommend a formal consultation with a Board Certified provider facile with both in office and surgical facial shaping.  Best of luck!
