How Can I Fix My Facial Asymmetry?

Q: Dr. Eppley, . I have a rather short and wide face and my jaw and cheekbones are visibly asymmetrical. One side of face is ”lower” than the other and the skin is not as tight as on the more developed side. I would also like to do rhinoplasty since I’ve been unhappy with the tip and slight hump on my nose for a long time.

I’m wondering if it would be possible to schedule a virtual consultation where we could discuss the treatment options and I could address some other concerns that I have about my face.

A: What you have is classic right-sided facial asymmetry. It can be seen that the right side of the face from the position of the eye down to the jawline is vertically shorter or compressed…fortunately only to a modest degree. The three most affected structures are the eyeball, cheek and jawline…all of which can be managed by custom implant designs for asymmetry correction during the same surgery. A rhinoplasty can also be concurrently done.

I would need to see some facial pictures from different angles to do an imaging analysis.
