Could the symmetry of my face be improved to make me more photogenic? (photo)

Question

I have various asymmetrical features to my face, esp my mouth. I have good self esteem, although I see the issue in any photos, videos. I am considering a move into a profession that requires lot of time in front of a camera. Could my features be adjusted slightly with or without surgery to improve attractiveness on camera?

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. I think you can obtain improvement in your facial and lip anatomy with careful placement of dermal fillers. I would advocate for a thick hyaluronic acid like Voluma in your left cheek and a thinner hyaluronic acid like Juvederm for your lips.  This will help improve the volume of soft tissue present along the left side of your face and lips to better balance your right.  Hope this helps.

Hi and thank you for sharing your question and picture here! No face is 100% symmetrical and that's just part of our natural individual beauty. This being said, most of the asymmetries in the face can be corrected while maintaining a natural look with minimum down-time with combined filler and Botox injection. It is very important to work with a physician who is experienced in whole-face treatments for best results. I hope it helps and good luck!

Thank you for your question. Please take comfort knowing that nobody has a perfectly symmetrical face and that even facial plastic surgery cannot improve your features to achieve perfect symmetry. That said, lip enhancement can create more symmetrical lips. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to learn about the non-surgical fillers and injectables as well as the surgical lip lifts available to you.
Best wishes,

You would get a nice improvement with lip fillers. These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a symmetrical and full lip. PDO Nova threads can also be used to improve shape and provide lift. Fat or implants are an alternative. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi Zyx. Yes, using a combination of different fillers and neuromodulators can improve your facial symmetry and lips. You will need a formal evaluation with a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist for a recommendation.Best wishes, Dr. Aldo
