Facial asymmetry, please help me —is there anything that I can do to balance out my face? (Photos)

Question

I realize I have asked this question before but here it is years later and I am still very bothered by the asymmetry of my facial structure. Is there absolutely no other recommendations but to leave it be? I hope these photos show more detail than my last photo from a few years ago. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your question and photos. If your asymmetry has bothered you for some time, you might want to consider some well-placed derma filler to improve your facial balance. This procedure can be performed in nearly any area of the face where you might want to add volume and definition. In addition to treating asymmetry, it looks like you might benefit from some filler in the chin to increase projection and improve the proportions of your profile. However, I would need to examine you in person to know for sure. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with an experienced, board-certified injector who can assess you further and create a customized treatment plan that meets your needs and goals best.

Thomas Wright, MD · Answer

To begin with, you are beautiful and it is very normal for each of us to have a long side and a short side. That being said, a good, experienced injector can always improve beauty by making things more symmetrical. This can be done with fillers, biostimulators and neurotoxins.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

We are all asymmetrical to some degree which adds to our unique look.  As it is bothersome to you, there are different treatments you can consider to help improve it.  Fillers can be used to help improve volume discrepancies.  They can also be used under the eye to improve contour irregularities.  Morpheus8 treatments can be added to enhance results and improve overall skin tone and texture.

you should consult there are alot of options you may need fillers, liposuction/facetite, chin implant, botox. there are many options. I would also start emeragecosmetics aerify or enlighten peels with microneedilng system (see link) for your skin.

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 morpheus 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.
