I have a more chiseled jawline on the right side of my face and fatter cheeks in the lower part of my cheeks on left side of my face. I believe what I have is more buccal fat on one side than I do the other. I never noticed one side of my face was bigger than the other, until I started to pay closer attention to my pictures. I still can't tell that the left side of my face is bigger & only see the asymmetries in the mirror. Is there anything I can do about this?
