Why is one of my cheeks larger than the other? Can I fix it? (Photo)

Question

I am 16 years old and one of my cheeks are larger than the other.I do not know if this is apart of growing up and losing baby fat and one is just quicker than the other or something else.I did have braces around 11 and had them removed at 13 and maybe my teeth might have affected my face growth in some way.I would really like to know if I can fix it in any way or slim down the other or it might be a medical problem.

Some mild asymmetry is very normal this can be fixed very easily with fillers or fat.  if you are concerned speak to a cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is experience in fillers.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Stephen M. Davis, MD, FACS · Answer

The body is asymmetrical, no two cheeks, breasts, buttocks etc are the same. You are also very young and still growing. Over time this may improve, but at this point you are too young to have anything done. I would also suggest to you that  99.9% of the population does not see this so I wouldn't worry too much.I would also suggest that you see your doctor to ensure there is nothing else going on that may be causing this.Good LuckStephen M.
