I am 36 years old and have facial sagging on my left side with a developing jowl. What can I do to fix it?

Asked By:carmedyann in Yakima, WA

This only became noticeable to me after a dental visit where the dentist pulled quite aggressively on my face while injecting novocaine. Is it possible he tore a ligament? Or is it more likely that the sagging is due to sun exposure from driving (I drive a lot). And what can I do to fix this asymmetry and ugly left side jowl?
