Can I Get A Right Cheek Implant That Will Match The Larger Left Cheek?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am a young man looking to get just one (1) custom cheek implant for my right side. I would like to replicate the structure of my left cheekbone, which is larger and more projected than my right, to correct my severe facial asymmetry. Is this possible? Thank you

A:With natural cheekbone asymmetry hey right custom cheek implants can be designed by mirroring the bone structure on the left side with the discrepancy being the actual implant design. This is a common technique used in the management of any form of facial bone asymmetry. This requires a 3-D CT scan of your face which can be obtained where you live and sent to me.
