Thank you for submitting your question and photo. It’s important to note that we are all asymmetrical to some degree, and that perfect symmetry is not an achievable goal. However, injectable treatments such as Botox and dermal fillers can be used to balance your facial features and create a more symmetrical appearance. A facial fat transfer is also a favorable procedure for restoring volume to various areas of the face for a supple and natural-looking result.

I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon or expert injector. They will be able to discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals with you to determine the best treatment plan.

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 you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello !

You are not ugly at all. You shouldn’t think that of yourself ! It is easy to get obsessed with something we don’t like on our body and believe that it is (really) worst than it actually is.

Based on your pictures, I think that you would benefit from facial fat transfer (or filler injections if you are not a good candidate for this procedure). It would help to correct the asymmetries (and we all have asymmetries!)

I hope this helps,
Take care of yourself !

There is nothing wrong with your face. Asymmetry is present at 100% of people and always has been. During embryological development, the two sides of the face form independently of each other, and eventually fused in the midline. Not only is the face of the human body asymmetrical, but the entire body is asymmetrical as well. Likewise people are either left-handed or right, handed. If you look at the human body, all internal organs are placed asymmetrically. 
The facial a symmetry is primarily based on your facial, skeletal structure, and this should not be manipulated or changed.
There are a variety of aesthetic treatments available, but you don’t need to have any of them.
What do you need is love yourself for who you are and for what your parents and God has given you.
Best,
