How Can I Fix My Facial Asymmetry?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am 44 year old female. I don’t like how my face asymmetry is noticeable. I want to aquire more symmetrical features on my face, eyebrow, eyes, cheeks. I want to look normal. Can you help me?

A: Like all facial asymmetries the first step is to determine the most important facial features to try and improve that would make the biggest difference. In your case that appears to be the right eye area as you have an obvious vertical orbital dystopia. (VOD) This involves the eyebrow, eye and cheek area. The second step is to get a 3D CT scan so the differences between the two orbital boxes can be determined from which a custom orbital floor-rim-cheek implant can be designed. While the implant is not the only component of the correction (browlift and eyelid changes are also needed) it is the foundation of VOD corrective surgery.
