I have noticed my upper cheeks or cheekbones are very asymmetric. My left side looks lower and more prominent than my right. My upper lip is also crooked. Is there a procedure that could minimize this.

Answer: Asymmetrical Cheekbones?
Dear Cvb,
thank you for your question and photos. It appears you have a very mild asymmetry which most people have. Cheek augmentation would be over-kill for you. Fillers will provide temporary improvement, as they will dissolve and go away. I would recommend fat grafting to the face as a permanent way to even out this asymmetry.

Answer: Options to improve cheek and facial asymmetry
Asymmetry of the face is normal and expected to various degrees. Cosmetic surgery and treatments can help improve asymmetry, however, some asymmetry will still persist. Cheek augmentation options include non-surgical facial fillers such as Radiesse or Sculptra. Silicone cheek implants provide a permanent solution for cheek improvement. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a plastic surgeon help determine appropriate options for you. Your surgeon can give more filler or place a larger implant on the smaller cheek. Best of luck.
