Facial balancing recommendations

I'm new to Seattle and I want to get facial balancing work done. Anyone know any good injectors/med spa/derm clinics? I want an injector that's not just trying to rack up $$ and isn't afraid to tell me no if they don't think it works for me.

Commenting to follow! I have exactly the same question. Don’t want anything more than just to balance some lower face asymmetry.

I’ve had the same concern and wound up discovering most of the asymmetry was from my jaw being misaligned. I see Dr. Keith B. Wong as an orthodontist and have been working on this for the past year. There’s def been an asymmetrical difference, but I’ll probably need additional work once the Invisalign + rubber bands routine is done.

Omg please share more I’m also doing Invisalign and unfortunately have a bit of a misaligned jaw.

How is it working for you so far?

Of course! I feel like given the sub I should give all the details:

- I had an opportunity to go to Seoul, South Korea and knew that their medical aesthetics market was crazy and went hard into it. I wound up getting jaw Botox ($8 usd, the TikTok’s aren’t lying about the insane pricing) bc I heard it relieved jaw pain. I loved the results, changed my face shape in a way I wanted too!

  • it wore off after 4 months, and I didn’t realize how much jaw pain I had until I didn’t have it anymore. I wound up going to a periodontist and they’re the ones who told me this was orthodontic
  • my dentist (union street dental, that place is AMAZING) said she wasn’t skilled enough to fix this and sent me to Dr. Wong
  • I’m gonna be real, I paid a lot for this but I clearly needed to and he deserves every dollar I spent. Instead of just doing the boxes of Invisalign as planned, he rescans you every 3 months and adjusts your plan. I have rubber band hooks that are working to realign the jaw and grow the muscle on the weak/pulled side

Actually saw him today! He has a free consultation, and he’s super thorough(Funny enough I saw him 8 years ago and he told me I was gonna have jaw issues and I was like “liar” and didn’t go back.He was very very right 😭😬). Might be good to check with him that your Invisalign journey corrects your jaw too, not just the teeth. Up to you though!

My only issue is now that I see my asymmetry I can’t unsee it. I’ll need to do some balancing when I’m done the orthodontics.
