The two sides of my face are very different - what can I do to look more symmetrical around the nose and mouth? (photos)

Question

I feel as though the two sides of my face are so different that at times I look like two different people. This causes me to look almost completely different in the mirror vs in photos/real life. My asymmetry has caused me severe insecurities and I want more than anything to find a way to look more symmetrical and like the best version of myself. I would prefer to stick to non surgical options, however I am open to any suggestions. Thank you!

Dear nicoledh,
generally speaking, dermal fillers are a great option for face contouring and improvement of asymmetry. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

you are young and look good. a comprehensive approach with threads, fillers, and morpheus treatments would help tighten and balance.  I would do an at home peel now to even complexion and soften texture and tighten pores/fine lines.
For facial rejuvenation,  I would suggest a combination approach of 
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)
Best, Dr. Emer.
