Why does my nasolabial fold look uneven and my eye looks crooked on the left? Do I have facial paralysis?

Question

I really need you help I want to fix my uneven nasolabial fold and I want to see what can be done about my eye on the left. It looks uneven ? Pls help me..

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion (J Plasma), thread lifting,  and peels to get the most conservative, natural look. I suggest seeing a facial sculpting expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

We are all asymmetrical to some degree and yours is certainly within normal limits.  Fillers can be used to help improve overall symmetry of the facial contours.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you for an evaluation and treatment.

Good Morning! If you have concern for facial paralysis, you should seek consultation with an ENT surgeon who can evaluate you. If no paralysis or paresis, then you may have inherent asymmetry of your face which is more common than many people believe. Fillers can provide a nice option to get better symmetry of the face. The areas that are deeper or with less volume can be filled. Many hyaluronic acid fillers are great for accomplishing this result. Hope that helps!

You do not have facial paralysis. The unevenness or asymmetry in the face that you see is absolutely normal in every individual on this planet. If you simply look at even the most beautiful people whose photographs are in magazines, or on TV, you will see exactly the same form of asymmetry. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
