What is the best procedure for my left side asymmetry? (Photos)
February 7, 2022
Asked By:AdriTex in Madrid, Comunidad de Madrid, España
I have a noticeable asymmetry on left side of the face. First, my brow bone is flatter on the left side, which makes my left eye looks tired. I also have an asymmetry on the left cheekbone, left side of the jawline and the chin.This asymmetry has gave me a very low low self esteem to the point I avoid to talk or look to people. I really think this asymmetry makes me look 10 times worse. I've been thinking about implants because it is not volume losa but rather bone asymmetry.

Unlike the implant settling seen in the chin due to the tight soft tissue chin pad where considerable pressure exists, infraorbital implants do not experience the same changes. They do not have a tight muscular cover and any implants settling/bone settling is very minimal.
The "swelling" is likely under eye fat bags that is best addressed with lower blepharoplasty but need evaluation to determine accurately. See an expert.
Optimal results in lower eyelid reshaping are almost always best achieved with a combination of bone and soft tissue procedures. Usually this means a canthoplasty and very likely spacer grafts as well. This would be particularly relevant when you have a negative cantonal till and scleral show.
