Is facial reconstructive surgery necessary or can I address this asymmetry with implants/fat grafting? (Photo)

Klemonade25Feb 20, 2023
Greetings, I was wondering if a less invasive method than jaw surgery was possible for my facial asymmetry? My jawline/mandible/cheekbone on my left side is sunken in a bit, so the chin skews left and the soft tissue is less full. This leads to my profiles on each side being very different and a deviated septum. My nose has already been operated on twice so I don’t know if it’s feasible to address again, but I would like to improve symmetry with implants to my jawline,cheek, and fat grafting.
