Asymmetric Face
Posted: 07-30-07 23:04pm

Hello,
I am 34 years old and in desperate need of changing my life for the better. After years of pain, fear and lonleliness, I am determined to make my life the best it can be. The first step is me and feeling better about me when I look in the mirror.
I have a terrible case of an "uneven" face. I believe it to have been from birth, but the older I get the worse it seems. The left side of my face seems to be flat, while the right side is shorter and fuller, almost looks like there is an infection in my lower cheek. I have barely any prominent cheekbones, a long receeded chin, what appears to be circular fat pockets on the lower side of each cheek, near the mouth. It's disgusting and I really hate looking in the mirror and definately hate pictures because it tears my self esteem down. I stay pretty isolated because of my insecurities. I love the person I am, but the person I am on the inside, definately doesn't show on the outside. I also have a very high, masculine looking forhead. It really stinks. I have had bangs since I was 12, and I plaster my bangs with hairspray so no one will see how ugly my face is. Seriously, I'm not being overly critical. Does anyone know if there is some kind of plastic surgery that can help correct this and help me live my life to the fullest? Please, any advice, I would be very grateful. Smile

I have the same problem. My face on the right is fuller and the jaw is lower. I'm not sure if surger can help. But i kind of wonder if the wonkiness is caused by some underlying condition...especially if it is associated with pain.

You can get lipodissolve injections in the fat pockets that permantly reduce fat unless you gain weight. You can get chin reduction surgury/ chin augmentation to change the shape and make it less longer and less receded, cheekbones can be augmented using impants, pemanent or temporay filler injections. You can get botox to reduce musle in one side of jaw for unevenness or an implant in the flatter side or some kind of injectable filler. Maybe even just getting one or two procedures would make you feel better. You don't need to change everything, nobodies perfect. And it is true the clique, confidence and a nice smile are worth gold. Hope you feel better. There is so much plastic surgry can do these days. Just try gooling procedures to find out more.

If you want to find a surgeon who does these procedures, just google them. Many surgeons do chin sirgury. You can even get in done overseas. Just be careful to pick one with a good online reputation and proper credentialsi n there country and alot of experience in the procedure you wnat done.
