Why is the right side of my face chubbier/bigger than the left side of my face? Can I fix this without surgery? (Photo)

Hi V,There are many reasons for facial asymmetry including differences in the bone, fat, and muscle between each side of the face.  It is very common to have some facial asymmetry.  It can be corrected with non-surgical treatments, mainly fillers.  Make sure that you choose your injecting physician most carefully for best results.  Good luck and be well.Michael Persky, MDEncino, CA

Facial asymmetry is a frequent occurrence, yet its correction, even through surgical means, can be challenging. While certain non-surgical options like fillers can help balance the size of the two sides, their capabilities are limited in achieving significant changes. It's important to consider both the potential outcomes and costs associated with these interventions.

As humans, we tend to be overly critical of ourselves, and I believe you are looking too closely at yourself. No two sides of the face are absolutely identical, so therefore, striving for perfect symmetry is not the recipe for happiness. As a board certified plastic surgeon, I regularly consult with patients about facial asymmetry – and when it is extremely pronounced, I suggest ways to correct it. While one side of your face is fuller than the other, you appear to be quite young, and some of the “baby fat” might easily equalize over time. I would not recommend adding dermal filler, because it could make you look too puffy. I can assure you that people passing you by in the street or in casual conversation are not noticing what you notice!
