Facial asymmetry - can it be fixed with Sculptra? (photo)

Sculptra continues to be an excellent filler for facial asymmetry as it provides natural enhancement of the soft tissue. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Thanks for your
question and as noted by the other physicians, you are being tough on yourself.
We are all asymmetric to some degree and that is what makes us unique. If you
do not like the way one side of your face looks, I would recommend being
evaluated by a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon and to see
close up what your concerns are and what non-invasive techniques can be done to
improve the things that bother you.



Perhaps Sculptra
would be a good option, as well as Voluma or Perlane that would give more
immediate results than Sculptra. Also, perhaps having a radiofrequency (RF)
skin tightening procedure would give you the results you are looking for. The
Venus Legacy, the Ellman Pelleve, the EndyMed 3Deep, or the Alma Accent or
VShape can improve the situation as well. Find the right doctor and learn all
the options that are out there that will make you feel even better about
yourself.

Every face is imperfectly balanced. When you smile at your fullest, the asymmetry disappears. If you were to alter your facial profile, that could impact how you look when you are happiest.There could be several things at play here - the side you sleep on and the side you chew on most often in addition to underlying anatomy. A physician would need to see your face in various animation to get a real sense of how to carefully make any changes at all.A hyaluronic gel would give you an immediate augmentation in the right cheek - plus it's dissolvable so in the event you didn't like the changes, you can make them go away.Botox or similar can lift a brow.You seem anxious to change many things, but you are a lovely young woman as you are now. Please make decisions very slowly and carefully.  You would not want to discover you acted too quickly and lost your unique looks.

Sculptra is a great choice to build your own collagen in the mid face and chin area.  Young patients such as yourself have fabulous results with these treatments.  If you want immediate results you can have Voluma injected.  The most important aspect is to consult a board certified dermatologist with a great deal of experience in facial injections.

I guess the pictures don't do your apparent asymmetry justice, but I would not use Sculptra since it has a more variable response.  Go with a hyaluronic acid product, chosen by you and your provider,  that can be injected to the point of correction deemed adequate by you and the injector as you are doing it.  Sculptra takes time to build up and you could overshoot.  Go with an HA and you can help the injector put it where you think you may need it.
