Fixing an asymmetrical face might sound impossible without undergoing invasive cosmetic surgery treatments, but guess what? In reality, it is easier than you think!
Thanks to the latest advancements in facial aesthetic treatments, nowadays it is possible to restore facial proportions and rejuvenate features with a different combination of non-surgical, minimally invasive treatments.
Are you bothered by facial asymmetry, such as one eyebrow higher than the other, or one cheek fuller than the other? Or have you noticed your face has started to lose volume and the skin to lose elasticity? Then this post is for you.
We will explain all your options when it comes to the most popular cosmetic procedures to fix an asymmetrical face.
Facial Sculpting: How to Fix an Asymmetrical Face Without Surgery
Our concept of beauty is constantly evolving. What we consider to be an attractive face today is different from what was considered ‘beautiful’ in previous centuries. But while certain standards evolve and change over time, others tend to remain the same.
Key standards such as symmetry, harmony, and vivid colors have been found to be universal and timeless elements of an attractive and beautiful appearance.
In fact, did you know it is possible to actually give a number to beauty? It is precisely 1.62!
This is called the Golden Ratio of beauty, also known as Phi, or theFibonacci number, and it is a mathematical symmetry algorithm that underlies our perception of attractiveness.
Leonardo Da Vinci was the first one to measure the equation in his anatomical studies and to realise that the closer a face or object gets to this number, the higher the level of its perceived beauty.
Abiding by theGolden Ratio of beauty, Dr Nina can transform a face aesthetically within minutes, restoring proportions and rejuvenating older features without the need for invasive surgical procedures.
The services she offers at her Facial Sculpting prestigious clinic in London include restorative cosmetic dentistry, aesthetic medicine, non-surgical cosmetic procedures, and non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments.
During the initial consultation appointment, Dr. Nina uses the Golden Ratio formula, as well as her own personal assessment, to analyze her client’s face and devise a specific treatment plan. This method works particularly well when it comes to correcting a patient’s visible facial asymmetry, such as one eyebrow higher than the other, or one cheek fuller than the other.
Asymmetrical Face Treatments
Non-surgical cosmetic proceduresperformed by Dr Nina are minimally invasive procedures that will give you a rejuvenated look and feel to your face, without drastically changing your natural features.
Treatment options to fix an asymmetrical face and correct the effects of the aging process usually include a combination of dermal fillers and botulinum toxin.
Thanks to the latest facial sculpting techniques, Dr Nina will be able to help you achieve your desired face shape using dermal fillers and wrinkle treatments to add volume and structure.
Some of themost popular cosmetic proceduresto fix an asymmetrical face include:
- Cheek Sculpting(or Cheek Fillers Treatment)
- Chin Sculpting
- The Brow Lift
- Non-surgical rhinoplasty
Cheek Sculpting
Cheek fillers can bring your face into balance by making the cheekbones more prominent. This can give you an instant, razor-sharp definition, and a natural-looking, youthful appearance. The treatment also smooths the nose-to-mouth lines, effectively lifting the entire face.
How it Works
Temporary fillers are injected under the skin above the cheekbones. Dr Nina uses either Restylane, Juvederm (hyaluronic acid), Radiesse or Ellanse, all extremely safe temporary fillers.
Ellanse and Radiesse also act as collagen stimulators, adding more volume and definition.
To inject fillers under the skin, Dr Nina uses Pediatric 32 gauge needles, the smallest needles available on the market, which cause minimal pain. Effective topical anaesthetic cream is used prior to the treatment to numb the area to make the procedure as painless as possible.
The results of the treatment can last up to 6-12 months sometimes longer depending on how fast your metabolism works. Every person’s individual metabolism is different, so the longevity of filler varies from one person to another. For those with a very fast metabolic rate, filler will break down more rapidly than in those with a slower metabolic rate.
Chin Sculpting
Chin Sculpting is another popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure and is an excellent and affordable option for patients with a weak and/or small chin, or a chin with irregularities, who want to avoid surgery to achieve facial symmetry.
This treatment can also change the contour of the face by balancing facial features and it is often required by patients who have had just had nose sculpting, in order to maintain the right proportions and the Golden Ratio.
Once again, injectable dermal fillers are used by Dr Nina to reshape and remodel the chin, leaving you feeling more confident with your enhanced facial profile and definition.
How it Works
The procedure involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin to improve projection, volume, and definition in the chin.
Injectable dermal fillers can not only smooth out fine lines and prevent the forming of deeper wrinkles, but they are also effective in redefining the symmetry of the face by balancing volumes and making the face aesthetically more attractive.
Injectable fillers can be placed both around the mouth and along the chin to add volume to the face and create a more youthful appearance. The added volume will not make you look heavy through the jaw or chin, but will rather create a more chiselled, defined chin by building up the area for better overall facial proportions.
Results can last anywhere from one to five years depending on what type of filler was used, how fast your metabolism is, and other factors.
The Brow Lift
Our eyebrows are genetically determined, but during the ageing process, as your skin becomes less elastic and loses volume, the upper third of your face tends to inevitably drop down and become saggy.
Low brows can make your eyes look heavy, while higher, defined yet natural-looking brows have the opposite effect. Thanks to facial sculpting procedures, you can make the most of your natural brows’ shape and make your eyes stand out for an immediate younger look.
In addition to that, the brow lift can be useful to fix an asymmetrical face where one eyebrow is lower than the other. All of this without the need for any invasive surgical procedure.
How it Works
A non-surgical brow lift is a cosmetic procedure that tightens and raises the skin on the upper third of your face, specifically the forehead and eyebrows.
The eyebrow lift can be achieved with injections of the neurotoxin Botulinum Type A and/or PDO threads, both subject to a full-face assessment and consultation.
When it comes to correcting a face asymmetry, PDO threads are used as the preferred method to lift and tighten the eyebrows and the part of the face above the eyes.
Dr Nina uses MINT PDO threads, the latest innovation from South Korea, consisting of a dissolvable suture made from a complex sugar called PDO (polydioxanone). The threads are inserted into the skin around the brow(s) to lift it/them and achieve a more balanced look.
Before the treatment, a strong topical numbing cream is applied. After 30 minutes the treatment area is thoroughly cleansed and prepped. Local anaesthetic is injected into all the areas where the threads will be placed, so the patient doesn’t feel any pain during the thread insertions.
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Amongst the side-profile sculpting package, the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure is thenon-surgical rhinoplasty– or nose sculpting. This treatment is often required by patients who have had just hadchin sculpting, in order to maintain the right proportions and the Golden Ratio.
Non-invasive, reversible and with more predictable results, the non-surgical nose job is a win-win for people seeking non-surgical alternatives to rhinoplasty. And it can be done in less than 45 minutes!
How it Works
Dr Nina uses hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to resolve a range of nose issues, such as:
- Correct a dorsal hump, making the nose look smaller and straighter
- Build the nasal bridge if very shallow
- Optically correct a septum deviation
- Raise the tip of the nose with non-surgical treatments
On the appointment day, Dr Nina will have you lie down with your face tilted up. You may have a topical anesthetic applied to your nose and the surrounding area, so you will not feel any pain.
She will then inject small amounts of hyaluronic acid filler into the area around your nose, including the bridge, tip, and sides. You might feel a slight pinching or pressure while this is done.
Results can be seen instantly, with further improvement up to two weeks after treatment. Most filler ingredients will dissolve into your skin layer within 6 months, but some will last for longer (up to 3 years) and improve with each treatment, as the hyaluronic acid builds up on your skin.
