I've recently noticed my face is very asymmetrical. What should I get done to help correct this? (Photo)

Question

I've noticed over the past year that I have some skeletal asymmetry, particularly in my jaw and forehead. My eyes are very asymmetrical and so is my hairline, my lips, and my smile. How asymmetrical am I compared to most people? Could this be corrected with fillers or do I need something more drastic? Thanks!

I suggest you see a facial contouring expert for fillers, go to someone who uses cannulas for more precise placement and less pain/swelling.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi85% of people have facial asymmetry.  That is normal.  There are plenty of very attractive celebrities with very asymmetrical faces.  Your asymmetry is more apparent and less subtle.  Minor injections can help but major skull and facial bone surgery by reconstructive cranio-facial type plastic surgeons is needed for true improvement.  Be careful though as that is major surgery with major risk and side effects.  An easier quick fix is asymmetrical side-way hair bangs to cover part of the forehead and create a distraction.
