Face thinned out asymmetric, will fat grafting help? (Photo)

Question

I am 22 years old and my face has thinned out a lot since I turned 21. However the one side of my face is much thinner than the other one. I wonder if fat grafting will make it look better?

Thank you for the photo.  Yes, fat transfer can certainly help with facial asymmetry.  The results with fat in skilled hands will look very natural and be permanent.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

I noticed that your L cheek is less protuberant than the R.
Fat grafting would be a good solution to correct the asymmetry.
