One side of my face seems slightly droopier than the other side. The left side of my face seems tight and full, but the right cheek feels looser and I have a line by my nose as well as a dimple. The left does not have this. It's not super noticeable, but it bothers me. I model and feel like it shows more in photos. Is there a way to tighten the right side of my face? Or get rid of the slight line and dimple so it matches at least? I don't sleep on that side or chew on it either...
Answer: Facial asymmetry and facial tigthness differences. Dear Susan. Thanks for your question.Facial asymmetry is a common finding. An examination is needed to help you determine the best course of action. Either facial fillers or facial mini procedure can help you achieve closer symmetry.Consider having an evaluation with a board certified plastic surgeon with a good reputation so that using a computerized imaging software different options can be shown.Best wishes,Dr Sajjadian

Answer: Asymmetry of healing after a facelift is common. Patients often times will have some asymmetric swelling which may lead them to believe that one side is tighter than the other. Almost always these sensations will improve with time and the final result will be symmetrical.

Answer: Facial asymmetry Almost everybody has facial asymmetry to some degree. I have never seen a case where I would do a face lift on one side and not the other. Photos would really help determine whether your asymmetry is within the normal range.

Answer: Can you tighten one side of your face? There are a number of options to improve asymmetry in the appropriate patient. Without photos and an examination, it would not be possible to provide you with valid specific suggestions for treatment.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.Facial rejuvenation needs to be individualized. What would be an ideal approach for one patient is not necessarily the same for someone else. Based on the examination and discussion at the consultation, you should have a better understanding of the various options that can achieve the longest lasting and best cosmetic result for you.Robert Singer, MD FACSLa Jolla, California
