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

Lilly778Feb 4, 2019
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

Fat grafting to your mid face can greatly improve the hollowness in this area. And the fat tissue that survives after the transfer will likely be permanent. Other parts and features of the face can also be enhanced and improved with fat transfer to those areas. Fillers are also an option but...

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest...

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry...

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
