First of all, let me say you have an incredibly lovely smile.Often it's easy to zero in on what we see as a negative personal imperfection, when it's the imperfections that make us unique and identifiable. The media uses image tools, makeup, lighting and photography angles to make celebrities look "perfect". They aren't.You are a very pretty young lady just as you are.

Hi and thank you for your question! Some degree of asymmetry is present in every face and it is part of our natural look and beauty and not necessarily a cause of concern. Based on your pictures, it seems that the asymmetry is very subtle in neutral expression and a bit more noticeable when smiling, which is also quite common. We can try to make some minor adjustments with fillers but you should keep in mind that making adjustments (and I don't even use the word "correction" since there is really not much here to "correct") for changes that occur or increase during facial expression with fillers is often trickier. You can try working with an experienced injector to see if you can achieve your desired effect, but my advice is to work in smaller steps and opt to use hyaluronic acid based fillers so that they cab be revised and removed easily in case you did not like the results. I hope it helps and good luck!

Dermal fillers can be used to even out asymmetry. However, no one has a 100% symmetrical face, so you need to be realistic with your expectations.  I recommend a full face consultation with an experienced cosmetic practitioner to assess you and advise of the best treatment plan.

Hi there! Thank you for your question. Dermal fillers are a great option for counterbalancing asymmetry in the face by injecting small amounts of product to balance proportions. Always remember to do your research and choose a highly trained and experienced practitioner and take the time to have a consultation before your treatment.
Hope this helps!
Best Wishes,
Dr. Rupert

Facial sculpting and contouring can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer
