The left side of my face seems tight and full, but the right cheek feels loose. Can you tighten one side of your face?

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

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.

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.

Facial asymmetryFillers can be used to correct some mild asymmetries.  Surgery is possible is the are significant differences  with laxity .

Hi. Facial asymmetry is the norm and not the exception. Without photos it's difficult to give a more accurate assessment. I am assuming from your question that you have been contemplating a facelift. It could be that fillers, whether synthetic or a fat transfer at the time of the lift,  may beneficial in obtaining more symmetry. However, always tell your surgeon your expectations so that there are no misunderstandings later on. I wish you the best on your journey!
