What fillers would I need to get in order to have more symmetry between the 2 sides of my face? (Photos)

Question

My face is bigger and less structured in one side than the other. Both sides look completely different. My left side is my ideal profile, it's the right side that I don't like.

Hello, and thank you for your question. Having some degree of asymmetry is normal, but if you want to enhance your facial balance, you may consider dermal filler injections. Fillers can give specific facial areas a lift and achieve more symmetrical contours. Adding volume to your cheeks or jawline can help to reduce the appearance of any asymmetry by reshaping one side of your face to more closely resemble the other.

I recommend only seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the expertise and experience to produce the best possible outcome. These experts are armed with a better knowledge of facial anatomy, as well as the most advanced injectable techniques that can achieve the most natural-looking results. During your consultation, your provider can assess your facial profile, recommend the best approach, and ensure the best possible outcome.

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos, you're probably noticing differences in cheek height and volume. There are a variety of fillers available for treating this region of the face, most of which will last about 6 - 12 months. I hope this is helpful, and all the best to you.

Thank you for your question and posting appropriate pictures. It is very normal to have some degree of facial asymmetry, however, you may benefit from either small amounts of cable injections to make your right side smaller or some jawline filler for more structure. It is best to have a consultation either in person or virtually for options to be discussed.
