Could Chin Fillers Fix My Asymmetry? (Photo)

Question

I’ve become aware of how asymmetrical my face is (i know it’s normal but the amount in mine bothers me). My resting chin is dimply and when I smile it juts to the right. I had braces for 2 years and I want to seek further orthodontic procedures to fix my midline, flaring, and the left side which comes out for some reason. The muscles on the left side of my face are much weaker than the right which affects my smile (how would I fix that?)Should I consider other options and/or wait to get fillers?

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 thanks for your question and photos. 
It's understandable to feel self-conscious about asymmetry in your face, In my opinion , beauty does not rely on perfect symmetry but rather on achieving balance and proportion among the different areas of the face. 
Based on your description, it sounds like you may benefit from a combination of orthodontic and aesthetic to address your concerns. Orthodontic treatment can help with mid-line correction and alignment of your teeth, while aesthetic treatments like fillers and botulinum toxin can help address the asymmetry in your chin or the weaker muscles on one side of your face.

However, it's important to keep in mind that these procedures can have potential risks and limitations, and may not be suitable or necessary for everyone. It's best to have a consultation with a qualified and experienced doctor to discuss the best options for your individual needs and goals. They can evaluate your unique facial structure and provide personalized recommendations to help you achieve your desired results. 
All the best, 
Dr Giuseppe Fiore

An in person evaluation is best, but you may have the best result from a combination of fillers and Botox.  the Botox will help relax the muscles and can help slim the jawline.  Fillers can improve contours and even out volume asymmetry.

Filler could help the chin asymmetry that you are talking about. Unfortunately not much can be done about the asymmetric facial muscles as this would involve neurotoxins that would likely lead to greater asymmetry.
