Asymmetry

[rabba10]

I read a response you made to a woman on March 27 about crooked lips. I have scoliosis, not bad just about 10%, I was told unstructured scoliosis. I have pectus excavatum, indented chest. One of my breasts is triangular shaped, sort of and a size A-to small B cup. One breast is larger a full C cup. I am crooked everywhere, my eyes, my face, my hips, my shoulders, my bones are different shapes in my rib cage on each side. It hasnt caused me too much trouble physically until lately. I am 45 and have a good amount of arthritis in many of my joints. My question I guess after filling you in, my dream would be to have my breasts symmetrical and my face to be more even. My jaw and chin is crooked too. My chin is small and doesnt fit my face as well as I would like it to. Could a face lift be done on one side of my face to even out the look?  I cant find anything online about face lifts for asymmetry. Thanks any help would be great.

There are a large range of possibilities to improve, but not eliminate, the asymmetry of your face.  These range from temporary volume fillers, to fat injections, to facial implants. Other options are also possible, like craniofacial surgery.  A consultation with a plastic surgeon can determine the degree of success possible and a plan of action.
