22F, face larger & higher set on right - how can I correct my asymmetry? (Photo)

Question

Im a 22f and the left side of my face really is larger and higher set than my right. My nose is also pretty asymmetrical especially looking at the nostrils. I lost a lot of weight and since then my face has changed a lot and it seems like the asymmetry is more noticeable and I look older as well especially my eyes looking more droopy and not as tight. In pictures I always favor my left side.

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi, Kassy1005! Thank you for your question and photo.
Your photo gives an idea but more photos would reveal more information regarding your condition. Nevertheless, I can give a few recommendations. The volume under your eyes have descended down, that requires endoscopic midface (cheek) lifting and fat injection. This will provide a young and fresh appearance. With fat injection your facial asymmetry can also be corrected and harmonized. 
Regarding your eyelids, especially lateral one-third of the eyelids look droopy, which will benefit from an eyelift (blepharoplasty) operation.
