How to correct my facial asymmetry to look more feminine? (Photos)

Question

My face is long and masculine. I have a long nose and a long philtrum which is weird because I have full lips and perfectly straight teeth. My mouth and lips are protruding too much, I don’t understand why? On top of that, my face is too big for my overall height/body. It looks like I have a mature face and a small body. I don’t understand why my face looks abnormal.

Thank you for your question. Based on your images, it appears your nose and chin are out of proportion. I might recommend a combination of rhinoplasty to refine the nasal bridge and chin augmentation to bring the entire profile into balance. These two procedures could be performed at the same time to give you complete results with just one time under anesthesia and one recovery process. Results from these surgeries would be permanent in most cases. I encourage you to schedule an appointment with a very experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon for further evaluation. Keep in mind that rhinoplasty is one of the most complex of all plastic surgery procedures so experience and expertise cannot be overstated.

fillers, skin tightening with morpheus and threads, and at home peels will really help (enlighten + emerageskin + atneagemd roller -- see link).

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 morpheus 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.

Your face is very feminine and you have a lot of beauty in it. The reason your lips appear to be protruding is because you have a somewhat small chin projection. Generally speaking this is a genetic condition and it's probably seen in other members of your family. There's also an area of hollowness immediately below the eyes making you look somewhat tired. In my opinion I would recommend having fat grafting done to the cheeks and lower eyelid area and this will produce natural and practically permanent results. The same can be done with the chin or a small implant can be placed to increase the proportions of the face. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery
