Do I Need To Correct My Facial Asymmetry?
Whatever the extent of your facial asymmetry, you must always consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon before making any decisions about your treatment. Such a professional can evaluate your aesthetic goals, the extent of your facial asymmetry, and recommend treatment options that suit your unique needs.
Treatment Options For Facial Asymmetry
For patients who are concerned about facial asymmetry, there are a number of treatment options available, including minimally invasive options such as:
- Botox: Botox is used by some plastic surgeons to reduce the prominence of your jaw, or raise an eyebrow that is sitting too low. In some cases, this injectable can even be used to address nasal asymmetries.
- Tissue Fillers: Tissue fillers such as Radiesse, Voluma, or Sculptra, can be used to add volume to once side of your jaw or cheek and restore a good balance to your features.
The aim of these non-surgical cosmetic injectables is to improve and restore facial volume, while enhancing your facial contours and improving any facial asymmetry you may have.
Facial Surgery To Correct Asymmetrical Features
If your facial asymmetry is extreme and noticeable, then your plastic surgeon may recommend surgical treatment over minimally invasive procedures such as tissue fillers and Botox.
While this option is more expensive and requires more downtime, it can significantly improve your facial function and appearance. Surgical treatment involves the insertion of facial implants to enhance the contours of your face, including:
Cheek Implants
- Restore volume to flat cheeks
- Enhance cheekbone definition
- Add youthful fullness and lifted definition to cheeks
Jaw Implants
- Expand the lower part of the face to balance out any asymmetry
- Correct a weak jaw, creating a clear delineation between the neck and face
- Create a strong, masculine jawline, which is especially beneficial to male patients
Chin Implants
- Improve the size and projection of a weak/sunken chin
- Improve the overall balance of the face
