Asymmetrical cheekbone structure and mid face descent, can anything be done to even the appearance? (photos)

jiminycrickit
Can anything be done to even the appearance of my cheeks? I've always had an asymmetrical face, with a cheekbone which is more anterior, but lower on the left, and higher but less developed on the right. As I've aged I've developed quite pronounced nasojugal folds, which are asymmetrical. I suspect much of the mid face descent is consequent to the fact that neither of the cheekbones is particularly well developed, giving a neutral/ negative vector. The orbicularis is quite loose on the right.
