I’m trying to understand the reason for my facial asymmetry, specifically the left side of my jaw being bigger than the right side and my philtrum slanting so much to the left. Can i make the asymmetry less obvious through any non surgical means?

Answer: Chin asymmetry and nostril asymmetry are not likely related.
Problem with selective injection to the muscles that lift your upper lip, and corner of your mouth, is that they can cause a funny looking smile that would be difficult to undo, other than tincture of time. Thank you for this question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
Using 2 different botulinum toxin products simultaneously is probably not a good idea since doing that was not formally studied and it may cause unknown or increased side effects.To overcome resistance(if it develops) I would simply switch to a different botulinum toxin product.
Injecting fillers(Voluma or Restylane Lyft) into the cheeks area will help with minimizing lower face fullness by creating a lifting effect similar to what you see when you lift skin in that area.
