I have noticed that my face is uneven. 1 side of my face is abit lower than the other and it's most noticeable on my eyes and lips as one eyelid looks higher than the other. When i smile my lips look even but when iam not smiling and looking normal. you can notice that 1 side of the lip is lower than the other. I am only 26 yrs old so i think iam too young for a facelift to even it out. I personally feel like it might have something to do with my teeth being misaligned. can you give any advice

Answer: No two sides of the face are the same Without a picture, it is hard to make an assessment and give any advice on what procedures can be done. Always remember two things: 1) No one stares at you like you stare at you and 2) the sides of the face are sisters, not twins, and will never be perfectly symmetrical. Going off of the first saying, as much as the asymmetry might bother you, it is most likely something that other people who met you in passing will not even notice. At only 26 years old, you are very young to be considering a facelift. If the asymmetry is seriously something you think you can not live with, then I recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon in person to discuss your concerns and see if there are any nonsurgical procedures such as fillers or Botox that can help with your asymmetry. Sometimes, correcting one asymmetry, such as the lips, or the teeth, can make everything else look balanced. But remember, “less is more,” and there is nothing more frustrating than to see young people “over surgerized” which can obliterate their natural beauty!

Answer: Facial asymmetry Everybody's face is asymmetric. Typically there is a side there is more wide and short and a side that is narrow and long. This is also true with the eyes as well. Typically there is one big eye and one small eye. This can affect the smile to a certain degree but is normal regardless of age. If your concern is with asymmetric lips, a small amount of filler may benefit you and may provide a temporary solution. We would recommend trying a hyaluronic acid filler as these are relatively safe, temporary and reversible. You would benefit from a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with knowledge of facial anatomy.

Answer: Facial Asymmetry on Animation I agree you are too young for an anti-ageing Facelift. The symmetry issues that you describe are very common so rest assured you are not the only one. My advice would be to consider balancing botox and even filler to help with symmetry when you smile.
