Age 26 - Chin lipo vs lip lift to fix asymmetry in lower face (photo)

Facial aesthetics are primarily determined by facial skeletal structure.
Soft tissue coverage tends to be fairly consistent from person to person.
In your case, you have a tall long maxilla with a shorter less projecting mandible.
Likewise, facial asymmetry is also based on bone structure.
All people have facial asymmetry and asymmetry should generally not be treated surgically, unless it is severe and obvious.
The human brain is accustomed to seeing all people with facial asymmetry.
You probably don’t see your friends and family as having asymmetrical faces, but they all do.
If we look at computer generated symmetrical faces made from either just the left side or just the right side you’ll notice they look quite different.
A computer generated symmetrical face also has an odd strange unfamiliar appearance.
That’s most likely because you’ve never seen a person who has facial symmetry.
Aesthetics has nothing to do with symmetry.
Aesthetic has everything to do with balance.
Go look at some artwork in a local museum and you can’t see very much art that is symmetrical.
Perhaps the frame of a painting is symmetrical, but the artwork will not be.
You can also look at attractive faces, and you’ll see that all people have facial asymmetry.
If the relationship between the different parts of the face they give each person their unique look, and as they mentioned earlier, this is primarily based on underlying skeletal structure.
Soft tissue approaches to treat problems related to skeletal structure 10 to not give very good outcomes.
People often do not want to undergo facial skeletal surgery so they opt for softer gentler procedures that often do not deliver.
If you really wanna get a quality assessment, including facial, skeletal structure, then talk to oral surgeons. Who do that kind of work in your area.
I think you’ll find it most plastic surgeons are soft tissue oriented and will give recommendations for soft tissue treatments.
If you go to a plastic surgeon office, expect to offer some treatment. If they do insist that they show you lots of before and after pictures of preview patients who had similar facial structure for whatever treatment they recommend.
Bring a complete set of facial pictures with you for any in person consultation guide
I also highly recommend avoiding virtual consultations and only having in person consultations.
Always start by having a proper set of facial pictures which should include a correctly taken frontal and sideways view.
Look at how plastic surgeons take before and after pictures to get an idea.
The camera needs to be at the right height and at the right angle.
