Facial asymmetry becoming more prominent (photo)

Question

As I get older I’m noticing some asymmetries becoming more prominent (31f). This is only a theory, but I have scoliosis and my spine curves to the left. Everything on my left side is better-muscles, facial fat, hair.. my right side is the opposite. I’m now noticing a loss of fat/ droopiness to my right side that’s always been there, but now getting much worse. What can be done? Every surgeon I’ve seen in Beverly Hills say fat transfer is the answer. What do you think?

Hello, 
I would recommend seeing a board certfied plastic surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetics. 
A young face is plushly padded with fat. As we get older we lose volume and other changes to our facial structure occur.
Facial asymmetry is extremely common, if not ubiquitous. It is common for people to notice asymmetries more as we age. You are not alone. 
Fat transfer can be a great option to revolumize and to try to improve asymmetries. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to make someone perfectly symmetric with any treatment. Again, I would recommend being evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetics and aging. 
Best of luck.
