Face is different from each side. What can I do about it? (Photo)

Facial asymmetry is common, with one side of the face having the appearance of less volume due to bony differences. The use of filler augmentation can aid in balancing symmetry. Discussion with a treating provider including an in office examination is recommended.

Thank you for your question and photos. Dermal fillers are an excellent treatment for enhancing your facial features and creating a more symmetrical appearance. These hyaluronic acid formulas add volume to specific areas of the face and provide a subtle lift to bring facial proportions into balance. For a longer-term solution, customized silicone implants can be inserted to define your facial contours and improve overall symmetry.

I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon or expert injector. They will be able to assess your concern and suggest the best treatment option for you.

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.

In general this is an easy thing to address. The side that is more empty can have volume added (cheek implant, fat, filler), or the more full side can be addressed to make it look more like the other side.
Adding is easier than removing, though.
Purim sameach!

Hi there,

The way we sleep effects our face especially if you are a side or stomach sleeper.
Sleep on your back and have a consult for filler and that should improve greatly.

Best of luck!
