What can be done to balance facial asymmetry? (photos)

You do have some facial asymmetry, but this appears within a normal variation to me. Although you do have fullness in the lower cheeks, and buccal fat removal might slim that area down, the appearance isn't that of typical jowls, and you don't show any significant skin sagging in the lower face. However, you do show some deflation in the anterior and inferior malar regions that could be improved with filler or fat injections. Because I don't see any significant skin laxity, I would be hesitant to consider a facelift. At your young age, I would stick to adding volume in the upper cheeks and removing some lower cheek fat, to create a more youthful heart shaped face.

First of all, I would definitely not recommend buccal fat removal; it doesn’t look like you are a good candidate and it would make you look gaunt.


You could be a great candidate for a mid-face lift. It is possible to undergo this surgery in your 30’ (here pictures of a patient of mine who got hers in her 30’) and some facial fat transfer. This would be the most effective method but other less invasive options could be considered (FaceTite …).

An “in person” consultation is necessary to determine the best course of action based on your goals.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !
