The left side of my jawline has always been stronger than the left. The entire right side of my face is weaker but the jaw/chin is most noticeable. I’ve always had a chin ptosis as well when I smile, there’s almost no projection and it leans right. I’m just not sure where to start. My bite is fine as far as I know. I was hoping to get submental lipo at some point but I’m nervous making my jawline and chin more prominent with this asymmetry.

The effect of the light casting on one side of your face could be misleading. Although you can see a difference, you must explain your vision and requirements in more detail so that I can provide you with a better solution.
A "balanced face" is something only you can describe for yourself. I do...
That is an excellent question. The first thing we would need to know is the reason for a LeFort surgery. Plates can be designed in many ways, and specific measures can be implemented to preserve your current implants.
I would recommend that we first understand why you say you need LeFort surgery...
The position of the the upper jaw affects the exposure of the upper teeth. So one can raise or lower it to alter the smile and 'show' of the upper teeth.
