Facial asymmetry is normal. Almost no human face is perfectly symmetrical. As we age, fat pads descend unevenly, bone remodels, skin elasticity changes, and this tends to increase asymmetry over time.
With all the attention-seeking rage baiting and exaggerated buzz about filler being hard, not dissolvable, lasting forever, or migrating, even injectors that use social media as their prime source of medical information believe this.
There are over 160 distinct hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers available worldwide from over 50 manufacturers. In the United States we have about 28 FDA-approved varieties. There is a reason why HA fillers have been popular for over 20 years in the US, and much longer elsewhere.
Don’t believe everything you see or hear, especially on social media, but please ask questions. Take time to know your provider to help him or her address your concerns and understand your needs. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for everyone. Variety is “the spice of life!”
Given this patient’s needs, two varieties of robust but soft fillers were chosen to give an immediate result that fit her budget.
