Fat grafting for facial asymmetry?

Question

25 yo here, I have rather asymmetrical face due to an extraction I had years ago. One part of my face is sagging on tha hollownedd ( I think?) and creating a bumpy like cheek.. Im wondering if fat grafting could solve anything at this point?

The human face forms as two separate half’s independently during embryology.

The human face forms as two separate half’s independently during embryology. The primary source for asymmetry is bone structure. Soft tissues tend to be remarkably even, consistent and symmetrical.

Manipulating the soft tissues to compensate for skeletal asymmetry well simply just create two asymmetries.  Uneven facial fat transfer it’s unlikely to accomplish what you’re hoping for.

Better to except facial asymmetry as being normal.  The human brain is accustomed to seeing faces as asymmetrical.  there are lots of great articles finding out how strange and an attractive purely symmetrical faces are. Google symmetrical faces and you’ll see some of them.

Best,
