Facial Asymmetry

Facial asymmetry can appear in many ways, and the pattern helps distinguish long-standing differences from those that need medical attention. Common presentations include:

• One eyebrow, eye, cheek or corner of the mouth sitting slightly higher or fuller than the other
• A jaw or chin that appears shifted or angled to one side
• Uneven lip fullness or a smile that pulls more to one side
• Differences in cheek volume or hollowing that become more noticeable with age
• Asymmetry that is stable over years, as seen in old photographs, versus a difference that is new or progressing

Injectable treatments at our clinic are performed by our experienced physicians, and our cosmetic consultants may help with your initial assessment and planning. We'll talk about how long you've noticed the difference and whether it has changed, and older photos are really helpful here. We look at which structures are involved, such as bone, teeth, muscle, fat and skin, and check nerve function and how your facial muscles move. From there, your next step becomes clear: a cosmetic plan built around what you'd like to change, your timing and your budget, or a dental or specialist referral where that suits you better.

Cosmetic consultations are complimentary.
