What procedures can be done for facial asymmetry and my profile? (Photo)

Question

Hi! I would like to know what cosmetic procedures can be done for me. In the first picture, it is clear that my right eyebrow is positioned lower than my left. The same goes for my eyes. Also, I think my right jaw is rounder than the left which adds to the asymmetric look. As for my profile, I don't really like the way my nose and my chin look. I'll need rhinoplasty for my nose but what can be done for my chin?

Without an exam your question cannot be answered. However, your photos are helpful and you are probably a good candidate for a Chin Augmentation. Here is some information to help you make this decision:With the description you provided, a chin implant performed as an office procedure (we perform it in the office under local anesthesia with oral sedation) may be your best choice to acheive the look you want while minimizing the out of pocket cost.Patients whose chin profiles are weak but have normally functioning jaws are candidates for Chin Augmentation. Many of these candidates have used injectable fillers in the past to strengthen the protrusion of their chins, but are looking for a permanent solution. A wide range of chin implants are available, depending on the patient’s needs and goals. These implants vary in their dimensions and are made of different materials. The proper selection of the correct size and type of implant by your plastic surgeon is critical for you to achieve the look you want. Please be sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon. #chinimplant #chinaugmentation

I do not detect any major asymmetry. However your maxilla is retruded and would benefit from augmentation at the bottom of your nose. Your bridge is low and would also benefit from augmentation. You may need tip plasty and tip grafting to correct the bulbous tip. I would not recommend a chin augmentation.
