I got radiesse and Voluma in my cheeks, however I think I need more fillers on my nasolabial lines, they are assymetric when I smile and I also have those marionette lines I can stand... However my doctor says that it could compromise the heart shape of my face. What should I do?

Answer: Facial asymmetry As a baby develops in the womb, his/ her face results from two halves fusing in the middle. Errors in this development may result in such problems as cleft lip and/ or palate. This in utero development, genetics, sun exposure, trauma, and a multitude of other factors result in facial asymmetry, which everyone has to some degree. Injectable treatments are a sculpting process; it is worthwhile to add in small increments, as opposed to overshooting and potentially needing to take away. Adding product in an asymmetric way to account for underlying present facial asymmetries is part of the art and science of facial injections. Don't overdo the fillers in the melolabial/ nasolabial folds; overfilling here looks unnatural and may result in the dreaded puffy appearance. Allow the swelling from the most recent injections subside, and discuss your concerns with your trusted injections provider.

Answer: Uneven nasolabial lines Part of the asymmetry may be anatomical which would not allow for perfect symmetry. Your physician is wise to advise a conservative approach. Allow 2 to 3 months post initial fillers and then assess. At that time juvederm ultra may be a consideration.
