Facial Asymmetry Botox explained
Most faces are a little uneven, but some people have one brow higher, a crooked smile or a larger jaw muscle on one side. Facial asymmetry Botox treats the side with stronger muscle activity. It improves balance in movement and muscle size, not differences in bone.
How Facial Asymmetry Botox works
The doctor watches your face at rest and while you smile, frown and chew, then injects different doses on each side. The stronger muscles are relaxed so they match the weaker side. A follow-up at about 2 weeks allows small adjustments. Asymmetry from bone, fat loss or nerve injury may need other treatments.
