Best procedures for correcting facial asymmetry in Princeton, NJ
For permanent results, Dr. Brunner may recommend the following surgical procedures:
Rhinoplasty
Facial asymmetry may be the result of a patient’s nose that has bumps or is too small, large, or crooked. Rhinoplasty, “nose reshaping” or a “nose job,” improves the shape, projection, and proportion of your nose, enhancing facial harmony and balance.
Dr. Brunner surgically sculpts the nasal structure through incisions in the nostrils or the columella (skin separating the nostrils) to:
- Increase or decrease the size
- Alter the shape
- Narrow the nostrils
- Smooth the dorsal hump
- Enhance the nasal projection
Blepharoplasty/Eyelid Surgery
One issue concerning facial asymmetry in the eyes involves having excess skin over one eyelid compared to the other. Blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, removes excess skin through an incision. This procedure effectively addresses skin laxity and asymmetry in the upper or lower eyelids to create a more harmonious look.
Facelift
A surgical facelift can effectively address sagging skin and improve facial symmetry. By tightening and lifting the skin, concerns like ptosis can be corrected, resulting in a more youthful and balanced appearance. Through the lifting of both sides of the face, a surgical facelift can enhance facial harmony and bring out your natural beauty.
Otoplasty
Ears that stick out or are uneven, too large, or misshapen can detract from your appearance. Otoplasty (ear pinning) can change your appearance by reshaping the ears while they are re-positioned.
Dr. Brunner creates an incision behind the ear and sculpts the cartilage. The procedure can “pin back” the ears to reduce their protrusion or mold the ears to be in more balanced proportion to the size and shape of your face and head.
Chin Augmentation
A defined jawline gives the face a more aligned, attractive, and refined appearance. For those with a weak or receding chin, a chin implant can enhance the chin and jawline contours. Especially if it is the skeletal structure that is causing facial asymmetry, using an implant may be the best option.
Mentoplasty, or chin implant surgery, involves placing an implant through an incision, typically made inside the mouth or underneath the chin. The implant increases the chin’s shape and projection, creating more angular facial contours and overall facial symmetry.
