Transforming Your Look: 3 Plastic Surgeries for Facial Symmetry

Beauty is subjective, but one of the most universal signs of beauty is a symmetrical face. Facial asymmetry is fairly common and even just a few millimeters of asymmetry can cause someone to dislike their appearance. If you are wondering how to make your face symmetrical, here are three plastic surgeries that improve facial symmetry. 

Why Does Facial Symmetry Matter? 

Beauty standards have changed throughout history and culturally. But the one thing that remains universally attractive? A symmetrical face. Some signs of asymmetry, like a crooked nose, may have health complications, too. For example, recessed jaws or crooked noses can negatively affect your ability to breathe well.

Types of Facial Asymmetry

Degrees and types of facial asymmetry can vary from person to person. The most common types of facial asymmetry include:

Structural asymmetry: This asymmetry happens when central facial features like your eyes, nose or mouth are asymmetrical. This can make your face look asymmetrical when it is in a neutral position.

Functional asymmetry: Functional asymmetry is the result of a neurological event like a stroke or condition like Bell’s Palsy. Functional asymmetries are most obvious when you use your facial muscles.

Incomplete facial asymmetries: Incomplete facial asymmetries are when one aspect of your face, like your nose, is asymmetrical. 

Complete facial asymmetries: Complete facial asymmetries are the result of several aspects of your face being asymmetrical. For example, you may feel like your chin is too recessed and nose is crooked.

Asymmetrical facial aging: This happens when one side of the face ages faster than the other. Aging often happens first on the side of the face with weaker muscles.

Causes of Facial Asymmetry:

Several things can affect facial asymmetry, including:  

  • Genetics
  • Aging
  • Trauma
  • Lifestyle choices 
  • Dental work
  • Stroke

What Are the 3 Best Plastic Surgeries to Improve Facial Symmetry? 

If you feel your face is asymmetrical, surgical and non-surgical options can improve your facial symmetry. Let’s look at the three best surgeries for facial asymmetry.

Rhinoplasty

A rhinoplasty, known as a nose job, can make your nose more attractive. Because of its location in the center of your face, the nose gets a lot of attention. So, bumps, slants and crookedness can distract from the rest of your face and make it look asymmetrical. A rhinoplasty can help make your nose – and face – appear more attractive.

Chin Implant

Your profile plays an important role in facial symmetry and attractiveness. A chin implant or fillers can improve your jawline definition if you have a recessed chin. It can also add more symmetry to the bottom half of your face. If you feel your chin is too large, a chin augmentation can help make your face more symmetrical.

Eyelid Surgery

Eyelid surgery improves the appearance of your eyes. Procedures can help make your eyes and brows appear level and even. Surgery on the eyelids can also be performed to remove excess skin around the eyes.
