Uneven Cheeks Due to Inflamed Sinuses - What Can I Do?

Question

When I was a teenager, I had an extreme case of sinusitis that completely closed off my right sinus and pushed out my cheekbone under my eye, as well as pushed my right eye farther from my nose than my left eye. I'm looking to achieve a more even look. What are my treatment options and what are the price ranges?

In your case, you appear to have changes in your bone structure that have resulted in an uneven appearance of your eye region.  In improving facial aesthetics you have two options:

	 

	1)  Fix the underling problem

	2)  Camouflage the problem

	 

	  In your case, it would be difficult to actually change the underlining bony asymmetries in your face.  I would suggest using hyaluranic acid fillers, Restylane or Juvederm, to create a more symmetric and pleasing appearance.  The fillers can camouflage your natural asymmetry.

	 

	Fillers typically cost between 400-650 a syringe and you may need between 1-4 syringes.

	 

	I hope this helps.

Without an exam we cannot tell you what treatment would benefit you the best. You should see a PS that can address your concern and give you your options more accurately then over the computer it’s better to have a consultation.
