How can my asymmetry of the cheeks be addressed? (photo)

Question

One of my cheeks is shaped differently than the other. One is more hollow while the other is rounded outward. Why is this and how can it be fixed

George Orloff, MD, FACS · Answer

Good question. The two halves of our faces develop separately when we are embryos.  There is always a difference.  The only question is how much, a little or a lot.  The option in your case is to use fillers to improve the symmetry.  It's best to start off slowly and improve the symmetry in a stepwise fashion.  In other words, inject some at one setting, let it settle and then inject some more.  You may consider a more permanent solution after you achieve the look you desire.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest seeing an expert this can be treated with fillers, or a combination of implants, fat, sculptra.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Toby Mayer, MD · Answer

asymmetry of the cheeks is quite common. This is usually  because of developmental differences. The easiest way to correct this is with the Voluma . If you like this it can be made permanent with a cheek implant. See an experienced surgeon for this.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

The critical question is which side of your cheek do you like better, the more hollow or  rounder side. That decision will change how each type of cheek bone can be changed.

Costas Papageorgiou, MD, FACS · Answer

Facial asymmetry is a common feature and can relate to bony and/or soft tissue changes. As we age these changes can become more prominent as volume deflation can reveal the underlying bony structure and asymmetry. Moderate volumization  of the left midface and left/right zyyomas will bring more symmetry to your face. Voluma would be be the ideal filler for your case.
