Facial asymmetry

One side that has never quite matched the other.

What's going on

Every face is asymmetric — brows sit at different heights, one cheek carries more volume, one side animates more. Most asymmetry is normal and characterful; some bothers people enough to ask about.

The useful question is which kind you have. Subtle rebalancing can harmonise a face beautifully; chasing perfect symmetry makes faces strange. Dr Truong's training in facial reconstruction informs every assessment here.

Why it happens

  • Normal skeletal variation — everyone has it
  • Muscle dominance on one side
  • Volume change with age, uneven
  • Previous treatment done asymmetrically

What can realistically be done

Rebalancing with injectables

Small, placed adjustments to muscle activity or volume to bring the sides closer.

Full-face assessment

Dr Truong maps the face in three dimensions before anything is touched.

Honest counsel

Often the right answer is that your asymmetry is normal and best left alone.

What can't

Perfect symmetry is not achievable and not attractive — faces are not meant to be mirrored. We improve balance; we do not chase a mirror.

What a first visit involves

Thirty to forty-five minutes with a doctor or nurse: your history, an assessment, and an honest plan with costs in writing. No treatment at a first visit. What to expect
