the whole left side is lower than the right side. from the eyes nostrols to the lips even. I have used fillers to try to even out my lips. I am considering a nose job but what about the rest? :/
Answer: Facial Assymetry Thank you for your question. All of us have normal asymmetry. When in the embryo, we develop from the periphery, and fuse in the midline. Cosmetic procedures are done to make the big picture look better. Symmetry, is a tail you will never catch. Best wishes.

Answer: Facial Symmetry Nobody's face is symmetric. Symmetry is not possible. The goal of any facial rejuvenation is balance. This can be achieved by using fillers/fat transfer, surgery (facelift, rhinoplasty, eyelid lift, brow lift, etc), and neuromodulators in a way that is respectful to normal aging patterns. Even in most cases of significant asymmetry, such as facial paralysis/bell's palsy, improvement can be achieved by restoring balance to the face. The best way to develop a realistic appreciation for what can be achieved is to have an in person consultation with a board certified facial surgeon who specializes in facial rejuvenation/plastic surgery and performs these procedures on a daily/weekly basis. They should be able to explain to you clearly what can be achieved and show you plenty of before and after photos.

Answer: What to do about facial asymmetry Facial asymmetry is extremely common, and almost every patient has some element of facial asymmetry. In some patients, this is more pronounced than others. Fillers are commonly used to improve volume in a certain area and improve asymmetries, but even with a combination of surgical and non-surgical treatments, many asymmetries cannot be completely corrected. In most cases, some gentle reassurance is helpful to know that almost everyone has some facial asymmetry. A consultation with a well-trained facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon can help patients understand what can and cannot be improved with respect to correcting asymmetries.All the best,

Answer: Surgical Procedures and Treatment Plan Dependent Upon Physical Exam Facial asymmetry occurs to some degree in almost everyone.This asymmetry is difficult to notice in most people, but in a small minority it’s so pronounced that it’s hard not to notice.Facial asymmetry can occur for a variety of reasons. In some cases asymmetry may be related to abnormalities of the underlying facial skeleton.In other cases, asymmetry may be related to the facial soft tissue.A variety of surgical options exist for treating facial asymmetry, the specific procedure chosen is entirely dependent upon the patients specific anatomic deformity and aesthetic goals. Without pictures or a physical examination it’s virtually impossible to determine which option is best for you.Under these circumstances, consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is appropriate.This surgeon should be able to perform an evaluation and formulate a treatment plan based on your specific anatomic deformities.

Answer: Facial Asymmetry? Most people have differences of their face from the left to the right side. There are multiple options to improve asymmetries depending on the anatomic location, extent of the asymmetry, and the pros and cons of each procedure.Keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to do without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure would not be in your best interest. I would suggest you find a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California
