Face asymmetry, possible treatments? (Photo)

Question

Hi I'm looking for ways to fix my facial asymmetry; as you can see my face appears lopsided and i have a crooked nose (i will get rhinoplasty soon tho)

You would benefit from a rhinoplasty and it would make the greatest difference.  You would also benefit from a browlift to raise your eyebrows and make them more symmetrical.

Best Wishes,

You have some mild facial asymmetry, but your nose is very crooked making your facial asymmetry worse, therefore just consider a rhinoplasty to help make your nose and face look more symmetrical. It's also important know if you have a deviated septum on the inside of your nose, since the external component is very crooked. Choose your surgeon wisely based on extensive experience, since rhinoplasty is one of the most difficult procedure to perform correctly in the entire cosmetic surgery

All people have facial symmetry. Even substantial asymmetry is aesthetically acceptable because the human brain is accustomed to seeing all people with a symmetrical faces. During embryological development, the two sides of the face develop independently from each other, and eventually fuse in the midline. Computer generated pictures of perfectly symmetrical faces have an odd unfamiliar appearance to them. I wouldn’t do anything regarding facial asymmetry. Most of it is based on bone structureand addressing that requires highly invasive surgery that’s not indicated. Your nose deviation is a different issue. It looks like you’ve had a nasal fracture. And addressing that requires highly invasive surgery that’s not indicated. Your nose deviation is a different issue. It looks like you’ve had an nasal fracture. If that’s the case, you may want to consider a rhinoplasty getting your nose straightened out. 
I suggest having a few consultations with plastic surgeons in your community who have extensive experience with rhinoplasty surgery. I don’t recommend surgery for your facial asymmetry. If you really want to go down that road, then consult with cranial facial surgeons in your community.
