Is it possible to correct my jaw asymmetry with fillers? (photos)

Question

3 years ago i had maxillofacial surgery and orthodontics to correct my overbite. The surgeon said my jaw was rotated and they had moved my lower jaw and chin forward 15mm. However as you can see from the picture my jaw is still very much out of alignment. I do not wish to have jaw surgey again, advice on other procedures will be very much appreciated. I am very self conscious of this as it feels my face is sagging and i am beginning to look like my late father many thanks jessica

I suggest you go to a facial contouring expert who specializes in fillers and fat transfer for facial defining.  Cannula injections limit side effects and give meticulous contouring.  I have patients travel from all over the world for this.  Do not compromise your care for cost or distance.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Fillers are a great option to improve a variety of facial asymmetries - whether they are post-operative or natural.  We are all somewhat asymmetric at birth. Often the volume loss associated with aging makes the imbalance more visible. One of my favorite fillers for the jawline is Radiesse because I can use it to create a crisp clean line.  However a more robust hyaluronic acid filler like Voluma or Perlane can be used.  If the asymmetry carries into the cheek, then replenishing with Sculptra can be helpful.   See a dermatologic surgeon or other board certified core cosmetic physician for evaluation and treatment.

Your jaw asymmetry looks mild but a filler may help. See your local plasrtic surgeon for an evaluation.

Thank you for your question. You can correct jawline/chin irregularities with fillers. You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon or cosmetic dermatologist in your area. Good luck.

Thank you for your question.  It is difficult to assess from the photos any significant asymmetry. A consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon can help to evaluate any areas of asymmetry and to help you understand what your options are.  Generally speaking, dermal fillers can be used to add volume to specific areas and correct minor asymmetries, including in the chin and jawline.  Best wishes and be safe.

Hi, based on the attached photos you could have a dermal filler to increase the jaw symmetry.  The photos do however show that your face appears relatively "elongated" which is always an indication that the cheeks are somewhat flat.  Cheek augmentation using a dermal filler (I prefer Perlane) or cheek implants for a permanent augmentation would create a more aesthetic heart-shaped face which is  more feminine, youthful and naturally attractive.  This is regardless to the jaw dermal filler enhancements.

It is best to consider augmentation along the jawline to both improve the symmetry and alter the facial shape. These are common and easily placed intraorally. Fillers need large amount and repetitive application over the years.
