What can I do to fix my uneven/asymmetrical face? (Photos)

Question

For the past three years I have been noticing the right side of my face looks puffy and larger than the left. I know everyone says “everyone has an asymmetrical face” but I’m referred to the girl who looks like she has mumps. I’m not the only one that sees it and many people have pointed it out, even my dental hygienist! I’ve had my tonsils/adenoids removed, braces, 4 wisdom teeth removed with 2 teeth extractions on the left side. I’m so insecure what can I do to fix this

If it's something that have recently occurred, it is likely not a congenital structural asymmetry of the face. The asymmetry may be due to hypertrophy of the masseter muscle on that side. Other underlying issues are also possible. It would be best to get checked by a board certified plastic surgeon, as a physical examination will provide much better insight.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

Hello,Thank you for your question and pictures. Based on what can be seen it appears that you may be able to address your concerns with dermal fillers. You will need to consult with a local physician in person to determine the best course of action. Best of luck!

Edward J. Gross, MD · Answer

Try not to favor your right side while chewing. Consider botox to your right masseter for facial slimming. But an in person evaluation to evaluate your masseter muscle and oral dentition is recommended. Also to discuss other treatment options.

Thank you for your question. Facial sculpting and contouring of the face can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra, which would give improvement in facial balance. Fat or implants are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Voluma® is great for cheek asymmetry and facial shaping in adults of all ages. To ensure the best possible result, please consult a board certified aesthetic dermatologist for a consultation.
