Uneven chin and jowl - advice? (photos)

Question

I have noticed in recent years that the right side of my face (left in photo) has a line that extends from the chin to beside my mouth. It is especially noticeable in photos. I believe it is because I have TMJ disorder and my jaw is uneven. I am not entirely sure what to call the line I am seeing and therefore it has been hard to find recommendations online for treatment. I also attached a photo of my mouth open to show how my chin is uneven. I appreciate any advice I can get.

Thank you for your question! Facial asymmetry can be improved by placing filler in the chin and jawline. Filler placed in the right location can improve overall facial balancing.

Thanks for your question. Sofwave would not be expected to have any effect on asymmetrical bone structure of course. It would be hard to predict whether skin tightening would lessen the line you see. It certainly could not be 'guaranteed'. However, it's an excellent collagen building treatment and as such a great anti-aging strategy if that's important to you. I hope that helps!
