I have a very slim face on the left side and a cheek that looks hollow. By contrast, the right side looks bigger and fuller. I’m wondering if it’s possibly caused by a larger masseter muscle on the right side and if this can be fixed with Botox? Or would it be better to just put filler on the left side to plump it up a bit?
Answer: HA Filler Works Well For Volumizing & Contouring The Face The use of Botox for the right masseter, in my opinion, would likely lead to an overly narrow lower third of the face. At least from the photo, it would appear that the use of an appropriately robust volumizing HA filler placed in the region of the posterior angle of the jaw and extending outward to the cheek would provide the necessary symmetry. You would be wise to consult with an experiienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler injector. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Answer: Botox or Filler Many times a combination of both treatments will help to enhance or correct the areas of concern. In your case I would recommend filer to the anterior cheek, this will give volume to the cheek and lift the face as well as improve the appearance of the under eye region. Botox in your masseters will help to reduce the muscle and slim the face. Hope you find this helpful.

Answer: Facial asymmetry You will likely have the best result from a combination of the treatments. Botox and fillers are great tools to address facial asymmetry. Botox can be used in the masseter muscles to slim the jawline. Filler can be added to address deeper folds and balance volume of the face. Visit with an experienced injector near you for treatment.

Answer: No-one is completely symmetrical! And that's ok Hello Affectionate 868747. It is completely normal for us to have asymmetry on our faces, no-one has one side of the face completely equal to the other side. Your physician has to check if the asymmetry is caused by an orthodontic problem. If it is, its better at the long run to treat that than to treat the consequences, which in your case is the asymmetry. If there is no orthodontic problem, it is completely possible to treat your asymmetry with a combination of fillers and botox.

Answer: Filler for cheeks This is a good question. Based on the photo, it does not appear that you have an enlarged (or hypertrophied) masseter muscle on either side because your lower face is narrower than your midface - which is ideal (think of a heart shaped face). Because of that, I would not recommend injecting toxins in your masseter muscle; furthermore, if you inject toxin in your masseter muscle without it being too big/overworked, without symptoms of grinding your teeth, you may notice fatigue when chewing and eating. Instead, I would recommend using an HA (hyaluronic acid) filler to augment your midface, putting more filler on the left side to balance and help with symmetry. This should help with the overall harmony of your face. I hope this helps.
