Facial symmetry can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. Implants or fat are alternatives. Smile lines can be improved with fillers for the folds themselves but also lifting around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, rf treatments and peels to get the most conservative natural look. Please see a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for
your question Flowergirl93. I understand your concern. Fillers
are used to restore lost volume in and enhance the appearance of the face. A small amount of Botox can be placed under the eye to allow it to open up a slight bit. Fillers can be used to address the nasolabial fold, both by restoring lost volume and correcting any asymmetry. It is important to understand that a small amount of asymmetry is normal and actually desirable based on studies. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations.  Good luck!
