I've always thought that my left side is defined and appealing while my right side is more round and droopy. To me it looks like my right side holds more fat than my left, but what bothers me most is the more-so pronounced perioral mound and fatty infraorbital region on my right side. I'm not sure if this is caused by lack of a prominent cheekbone, the way my nose and chin deviate to my left, enlarged buccinator/masseter muscles on the right side, or uneven fat distribution. Please help!

Answer: Facial Slimming — Masseter Botox, Facetite/Renuvion J Plasma, Buccal Fat Pad Removal, Fillers to sculpt the Cheek/Jawline/Chin 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.

Answer: Asymmetry We are all asymmetrical to some degree and yours falls in the normal range. Fillers can be used to help add volume to areas that are lacking to better harmonize with the other side of your face. Botox to the masseter muscles can temporarily slim the larger jaw line to give a more symmetrical look. See an expert injector to learn more.

Answer: Thats very common This is a very common finding almost in everyone. this does become more pronounced as we age. As they say we have a good side and for most people thats their left side. But to answer your question subtle dermal fillers can make a huge difference is making the face more symmetrical which is something that aesthetic medicine is about. To address your concerns we use Juvederm Voluma to enhance the cheeks and jawline and chin to add symmetry and enhance that chiseled look.
