What type of procedure do I need for asymmetrical face?

Question

My face wasn’t always like this , I noticed how small one eye was 3 years ago and how asymmetrical my eyebrows are as well. Is there any procedure to fix this ? Also what may have caused one side of mt face to look soo droopy

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello @Forceful6713, thank you for your question. Body parts do not all have the same size or shape. There are generally certain asymmetries. I would suggest er high technology non-surgical treatments that help you to have more harmony and seek to improve some aspects that can be improved through treatments without being very invasive such as Botox, Hyaluronic Acid and other technologies. For more information and recommendations, it is prudent to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS. .

Your problem is upper eyelid ptosis (droop) that has worsened recently. In order for you to keep the eyelids at about the same position your frontalis (forehead) muscle is working overtime on the right. The increased tarsal show (the flat area above the lid margin) is also a telltale sign. This is relatively easily corrected by a plastic or ophthalmic plastic surgeon who is experienced in treating ptosis.
