View profileWhat 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'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 a first visit involves
- Your history and what's bothering you, in your words
