"I am a 28-year-old male. Recently, I discovered that one side of my face appears slimmer than the other. I had never noticed it before, but it became apparent when I took pictures lately. Additionally, the slimmer side is the one I don't chew on and the one I sleep on. While I understand that facial asymmetry is common, I'm uncertain if mine is unusually noticeable. I know that fillers can help address some asymmetry. Are there any other options available to correct this
