Hello and thank you for your question. Based on the photo you’ve provided, you will likely be an ideal candidate for well-placed dermal fillers, like Juvederm and Restylane. Injecting fillers into areas of your face that are lacking volume is a nonsurgical solution for many facial asymmetries. Botox around your brows can also help improve balance in your face. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon to discuss your treatment options.

fillers and threads can give you more symmetry.  otherwise surgery and/or implants are needed. you must have realistic expectations.

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 morpheus 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 /neck lift with or without buccal fat pad reduction 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
5. early face/neck lift with platysmaplasty or maxillofacial surgery (bone shaving or implants)  
6. botox/dysport/xeomin on the neck for platysmala bands and neck tightening 
 
Always use at home EMERAGSKIN dermarolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten , cosmelan 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.

We all are asymmetrical to some degree which adds to our unique look.  Fillers are a great way to help balance out facial asymmetries.  Botox can also be used to help asymmetry in the brow area.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
