Can anything be done to improve these dents and facial asymmetry? (Photos)

SunnySkies2020Feb 23, 2024
Updated: Hello, I'm a 32 year old female looking for help for dents in my cheeks that bother me as well as facial asymmetry. Wondering if anything could be done to help. I did see one plastic surgeon and he said he didn't recommend doing anything. He said it was due to aging and facial asymmetry. I am not ready to accept that I am stuck with this and am looking for advice.
