Asymmetrical face and nose - can this be corrected? (photos)

Question

Could this be corrected - where do I begin and would this be considered "extreme" asymmetry

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and photos. While perfect symmetry is impossible to achieve, you may benefit from rhinoplasty and buccal fat removal to balance your facial features. Your nose can be straightened and redefined for a more symmetrical shape, while buccal fat removal can create a more harmonious and well-defined jawline contour. When considering rhinoplasty, it's important to note that it is one of the most complex of all plastic surgery procedures, requiring experience, skill, and even artistry to achieve an optimal outcome. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon, with expertise in rhinoplasty techniques.  They will be able to discuss your concern with you and determine the best treatment plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

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.

Hello!

It seems that there is a noticeable asymmetry in your nose based on the pictures you provided. A tip-plasty procedure, in the hands of a skilled rhinoplasty expert, can address this concern and provide you with the results you desire.

I highly recommend consulting with a board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon for a personalized evaluation and treatment plan. They can guide you through the process and help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Best of luck on your journey to achieving your desired look!

I want you to know that 99% of the world's population has a asymmetry even if it is small. Therefore, it is possible to correct the crookedness of your nose with rhinoplasty. While buccal fat removal can be performed on the wide side of your face, we can try to equalise the narrow side with fat grafts. Please check our Instagram account and RealSelf photos. You can get more detailed information about me, ask all questions about your case and sending your photos to my assistants at the number on my profile. You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. With all respect.
