Why did one side of my cheek become very noticeably deflated?

I was in a car accident 2 years ago where I suffered from a TBI and a stroke. My right side became temporarily paralyzed and I had to go through several months of therapy. I have some nerve damage on the right side of my mouth since that area took the hit from the accident and I had to get braces since my teeth were knocked out&crooked. I then noticed that my right cheek became very deflated & it's so noticeable. I'm just wondering if the trauma has something to do with it & if there's any cure.

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...

We typically all lose volume in our face as we age.Smoking can be very harmful, can age you faster and cause wrinkles but typically does not make you lose volume.Fillers like Voluma are very natural and can last up to 2 years or more and are reversible if needed.
