Personally, I think my face is a little bit older than my peers because my cheek is big ,and I have a lack of mandibular angle which makes utterly my face look hevier in lower third of my face.

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. 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.
