My smile lines are very asymmetrical due to my right cheek. Is there any way to fix it? (Photo)

Question

My right cheek squishes into my smile making my face look less symmetrical. I really want the right side to match the left but I don't know who to talk to or what procedure could fix that. Is there any way to fix the cheek that pushes into my mouth so I could have even smile lines on both sides of my face?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Smile lines can be improved with fillers primarily, but are improved with collagen stimulation long term with devices like Thermage or Venus.  Best. Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question and photograph.  I see what you are referring to with regards to your smile lines. Unfortunately, there is no way to "correct" this as its a matter of the way your facial muscles are attached to the soft tissues of your lips and the bony part of your cheeks.  No one's face is perfectly symmetrical, and you have a very even, pleasing smile, so focus on that aspect and ignore your cheeks' subtle differences
