I've always been self conscious about the way my lower face looked but it became even more apparent recently when somebody took a video of me. From the side, my jawline is not defined at all especially when I smile. I feel like my chin just turns into my neck. From the front, one side of my jaw bulges more than the other. Also one side of my lips is higher than the other and from the side view my upper lip is very saggy and turned under. Is there anything I can do to fix these problems?
Answer: Asymmetry Your look great and everyone has some asymmetry to their face. Both sides of your face are not twins but sisters and it is normal to have differences on both sides of the face. Your best treatment would be a preventative skin regimine. I recommend a healthy lifestyle: a diet high in fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes and fish; eight to ten hours of sleep nightly; limiting alcohol intake other than the occasional glass of red wine; and regular exercise. An important step for all skin types is sun protection including the use of daily sunscreen, sun hats and sunglasses, all of which help prevent aging and sunburns. When it comes to rejuvenating and prevention treatments, a combination of treatments are available including cosmeceuticals (skin care products including ZO® Skin Health or ZO® Medical, Skinceuticals® or Glo-Minerals®), neurotoxins (Botox®, Xeomin®), dermal fillers (Restylane®, Juvederm®, Esthelis®, Belotero®, Emervel®, Radiesse®), and skin resurfacing procedures (advanced laser resurfacing or OBAGI® controlled depth chemical peel). These are advanced techniques so be sure to get an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon consultation for recommendations and treatment options.

Answer: Asymmetry Everyone has some degree of asymmetry in their faces. Although the asymmetry seen in the limited photos are subtle, there are several options to make subtle changes to achieve more symmetry which can make a big difference in the overall appearance. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you with achieving the results you seek. I think you would also benefit from a 3-dimensional analysis and computer imaging to help you visualize what you may look like afterwards and to serve as an important communication tool with your face specialist.
