My right cheek is considerably much larger than my left cheek and seems to be pure fat since the corner of my mouth can hardly move right when I smile. I can't tell which side has more muscle but I usually chew with my right side and sleep on my left side. It has been like this for almost my entire life and I look terrible in almost every photo I take. There seems to be so much more fat that if I try to push my smile to the right side, the fat pushes my right bottom eyelid up.
Answer: Cheek asymmetry- and the rest of the face Often patients focus on the asymmetry of their cheeks. Often, however, there is an array of asymmetries that go hand in hand with asymmetric cheekbones, such as orbital set, brow height, mandibular contour.It takes an artistic eye to evaluate all these asymmetries and implement an appropriate procedure.It is possible to computer design implants that produce perfect cheek symmetry- but terrible results, because now the other asymmetries that went hand in hand with the asymmetric cheeks have been ignored.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Cheek Augmentation with Dermal Fillers vs. Fat Transfer Thank you for sharing your question. Although it is difficult to assess without seeing a photograph of you, it sounds like you may be a good candidate for a dermal filler or fat transfer procedure. Depending on how large the discrepancy is between your left and right cheeks, I usually recommend starting with a dermal filler such as Restylane-Lyft, Juvederm Voluma, or in some cases, Radiesse. Filler can be a good indicator as to whether the asymmetry can be fixed by adding volume. Alternatively, fat transfer is a more permanent treatment option to restore lost volume. It involves harvesting fat from a donor area such as the abdomen or inner thighs, purifying the fat, and injecting it into the desired areas. In my practice, this procedure is very popular for the midface and offers long lasting results. Depending on your degree of asymmetry, you may also be a surgical candidate. I recommend consulting with a board-certified specialist in order to receive more specific treatment suggestions.

Answer: Facial Asymmetry The majority of the population has some asymmetry in their facial structure. The cause of which can be a variety of things, but is most often a difference in volume (as you implied). Facial fillers are a way to even out natural asymmetry by adding more volume to the areas with deficit. One of the best ways to view this is with a practice that has a Vectra facial imaging system. It allows you to see your face split into sides and then two of your left sides together and two of your right sides together. It also gives you the ability to view what your face would look like with filler placed before you have it done.
