Will filler in the cheeks lift the lower face & correct asymmetry? (Photos)

Question

I wish to slim my face and correct asymmetry in the lower face- dentist has not said I clench or grind my teeth but I thought that maybe it was a jaw issue. I went to inquire about massters but was told that I would benefit from Sculptra in my cheeks to "lift" the skin around my mouth. Does that seem like it would correct the problem? Is there another treatment I should consider?

Hello,Uncontrolled teeth grinding is a serious health problem that can widen the face, make it appear more round and short, and occasionally create 'Asymmetry' depending on the severity of teeth grinding. If left untreated, uncontrolled teeth grinding can lead to tooth loss. Teeth grinding can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to irritability and difficulty concentrating during the day. The issue of teeth grinding may also manifest as neck and back pain. If you do not experience these symptoms, the problem may be in its early stages.
The problem of teeth grinding can be easily addressed with Masseter Botox. To lift your face, create a facelift effect, slim your face, and sharpen your jaw contour, Poly-L-lactic acid (PLA) is highly recommended. Sculptura is the first PLA to be introduced, containing only 150 mg of PLA. The preparation conditions are very challenging, making it an uncomfortable treatment protocol. I recommend LANLUMA instead. Lanluma is prepared in two forms, V and X, with 210 mg and 630 mg, respectively, making it extremely dense and offering an effective treatment option. Its effects begin to show immediately and become more pronounced within two months.
Among liquid facelift procedures, Lanluma is the most effective treatment. It requires about an hour for preparation, making it very comfortable. By stimulating collagen synthesis, it promotes natural renewal, rejuvenating the quality of the skin. Over time, the skin becomes tighter, and the jawline appears more defined.
I confidently recommend it for a safe and effective solution, and I'm sure you will be very satisfied.

Theoretically yes, absolutely lifting the cheeks with a regenerative product like Sculptra will pull and lift the skin in the upper face. However, in seeing the pictures you may need a global rebalancing approach to get the effect you are hoping for. I would recommend alternating Sculptra treatments with a Morpheus microneedling in the lower face. This will help with fat remodeling in the lower face will tightening the look of the face overall. Hope that helps!

The amount of asymmetry that you show in your face is absolutely normal and exists in every individual on this planet, where usually the left side is slightly fuller than the right. I always tell my patients not to chase the creation of symmetry ever. You can build your self slightly fuller cheeks, but I recommend doing that with your own fat, rather than fillers as it will provide you with natural and practically permanent results as long as the procedure is done by a Plastic surgeon with a great deal of experience in fat grafting techniques. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City. Plastic Surgery. Have a happy and healthy new year.
