If you have a lopsided feature that bothers you, it can probably be tweaked with filler. Fillers can be used to add angles to the face or balance out an asymmetrical face, says Imber. He uses fillers (or fat transfer) to enhance the angularity of the face and make someone look younger.
"Every individual with asymmetry requires treatment that is tailored to their particular needs," explains Shamban. "So, if they have one side of their forehead that is hypermobile lifting of the brow, Botox can be used to relax the brow. If they are asymmetrical with one cheek larger than the other, or one side of the lip larger than the other, then this can most commonly be corrected by injection of a hyaluronic acid [filler]."

"And I tell everyone, my job is to underwhelm you."

If the only thing holding you back is fear of what other people will think, then it's time to get over it. You're doing this for you, and you don't have to tell anyone. Plus, according to Galderma, 4.4 million women in the US have tried fillers or toxins, and 2 million are routinely using them. You'll be in good company.
And anything that makes you feel more confident shouldn't be considered frivolous. "I reassure [patients] that these treatments to improve the appearance or reverse signs of premature aging are, in fact, tightly connected to positive self-image and self-esteem," says Shamban.
