I am looking for recommendations for which procedure would be most effective in deducting asymmetry of mainly lower half of face, ESPECIALLY chin. I am more fond of the side with a beauty mark. The other side of my chin looks pushed up and in to me. Would facial fat transfer rectify that? Or is it my nose or uneven brow bones causing such asymmetry? Maybe chin shaving on right side (the side that looks more droopy? Or mini lower lift? Lol pls help w/ suggestions

Answer: When someone needs surgery You do not need nor should you have facial surgery. All people have a symmetrical faces. Did human face is not symmetrical on anyone. The amount of asymmetry in your face is less than average. Your face is actually quite symmetrical. People have a difficult time seeing their own face objectively. Instead of trying to see your own asymmetry or how much symmetry you actually have I suggest you start analyzing facial pictures of other people to recognize how much facial asymmetry is present in average people and how difficult it is to find anyone with a truly symmetrical face. They don’t exist. Another interesting way to come to terms with facial asymmetry missing look at computer generated pictures of symmetrical faces created by either the left or the right side of somebody’s face. There’s plenty of examples if you do a Google search under facial symmetry or asymmetry. Many intelligent people have concluded that most people find perfectly symmetrical faces to be less attractive and have an odd or uncomfortably strange look to them. This is because the human mind or brain is accustomed to seeing asymmetry as being normal. Considering that you’ve never seen a person with a symmetrical face once you see them they have a very odd look to them. During embryological development the two sides of the face develop independently. this is why they’re not symmetrical. The left and the right side form independently of each other. The entire human body is also asymmetrical. All your internal organs are placed asymmetrically. People are either right handed or left handed etc. etc. The majority of both men and women have a left breast that’s it’s half an inch higher on the chest wall than the right breast and most peoples left eyesocket also sits higher than the right socket. This causes the left eyebrow to sit higher on most people as well. The actual asymmetry itself is always based on bone structure. Soft tissue coverage tends to be very consistent from left to right and in fact soft tissue coverage tends to be fairly consistent from person to person. What makes each unique person have their own identity and personal appearance whether attractive or not so masculine or feminine is primarily based on facial bone structure. Soft tissues have a lot to do with facial aging but in the young population individual facial characteristics are primarily determined by bone structure. When you recognize that your asymmetry is normal then that eliminates the need for surgical intervention. If you attempt to treat this with fat manipulation and you will only develop two asymmetries. since the primary asymmetry is based on bone structure if you manipulate and develop uneven fat layers then you’ll still have facial skeletal asymmetry and now also fat asymmetry. What does not compensate for the other very well and it is unlikely you’ll be satisfied with the outcome. You look young. The following statements is not end as you personally but is simply a general statement. The human brain is not fully developed until individuals are in their mid 20s. this is the point that the brain does not develop further. At that point the brain is simply just fully developed. The brain still does not have the experience of a mature individual. What some young people show better maturity than others the truth is the young people have a different way viewing the world and viewing themselves that changes with each decade. For all of these reasons I would highly recommend you slow down the train and try to accept yourself as being attractive appropriate and normal in every way. The procedures you are referring to a permanent and irreversible. On top of that they’re not easy procedures to perform well. Recognize the plastic surgeons only release their very best before and after pictures. Behind impressive pictures seen on doctors websites and floating around the Internet is an ocean of mediocre results that are not available to the public. Some procedures are straightforward, easy and have consistent a patient satisfaction. none of what you listed is in that category. If you consult with plastic surgeons you will eventually find someone who’s going to take your money and schedule you for surgery. If you don’t want an operation then don’t consult with plastic surgeon. Some will serve your best interest first and foremost while others simply see this as a service that you are requesting and have no qualms operating on you. When young men post similar questions I usually tell them that young men should spend less time looking in the mirror and more time focusing on what young men should be focusing on like conquering the world going to the gym etc. etc. It’s probably simply wrong to suggest a young woman shouldn’t look in the mirror. Women after all inherently are much more concerned with their own appearance than young men. Do recognize that we are very biased in how we view ourselves when looking in the mirror. There’s been plenty of interesting studies of people judging their own attractiveness. Often unattractive people believe they are far more attractive than they actually are. Very attractive people tend to think they look more average. I think you had excellent facial features that you should be grateful for Do you have an appropriate size for head with a nice high arching brows. Your upper eyelids are perfect human face great cheekbone protection. Do you knows is textbook perfect and your lips have a nice you and Phonelist . Your jawline as well defined and your chin looks good. Your neck is perfect. I can tell you this. No one has ever looked at you and said “her face is uneven”. Just like you have probably never said that to yourself about any of your friends and all of your friends have facial asymmetry that you never noticed. At this point in your life I think you should stay away from plastic surgery offices. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD P.S. I just read your previous question and the responses to it. One of the doctors pointed out that your eyelids showed ptosis on one side. That doctor claims that you have bony symmetry. personally I think he is incorrect. I believe your left eye socket sets higher in your skull then your right side. You can easily check this yourself by just putting each thumb in the top of the eyesocket and see if your thumbs lineup. Most people have a left eye socket that’s it slightly higher in the skulls in the right and because of this the brow also since slightly higher. The correct way to assess this is to measure the distance between your brow and your lash lines. Because your lash line moves with a movement and also moves with head position this is a difficult measurement to make. That response implied that there is indication for surgery. I would differ with that assessment saying that the degree of asymmetry is clearly within normal range and therefore surgery is not indicated. like I have stretched through my entire response asymmetry is normal. If we operated on all people who had a symmetry then all people should need surgery. Surgeries in located on a symmetry is outside the norm. Statistically we might called is two standard deviations. 95% of the population fall within two standard deviations. 5% of the population may have enough facial asymmetry to warrant eyelid surgery. Your a symmetry is less than one standard deviation. I simply don’t think you should have surgery. Surgery does not always come out the way people had anticipated and they should be a good indication before having surgical intervention. I have a slight difference with his assessment. My recommendation remains the same. Enjoy your life and stay away from plastic surgeons offices until there is a better indication to have surgery. The time may come but it isn’t now.
