Methods and techniques for treating facial assymetry by administering dermal injections to patients based upon facial asymmetry

A method for treating a patient with dermal filler injections to correct facial asymmetry using an asymmetry severity scale guide, comprising:

• evaluating the face of the patient to determine whether the patient suffers from facial asymmetry that is treatable in accordance with the asymmetry severity scale guide (“ASSG”);
• when it is determined that the patient suffers from facial asymmetry that is treatable in accordance with the ASSG,
• determining a severity grade of the facial asymmetry treatable in accordance with the asymmetry severity scale guide;
• and
• when it is determined that the severity grade of the facial asymmetry is a grade 1 asymmetry, treating the face of the patient with dermal injections with more filler volume applied to the more contoured hemi-face than to the heavier hemi-face;
• and
• when it is determined that the severity grade of the facial asymmetry is a grade 2 asymmetry, treating the face of the patient with dermal injections with more filler volume applied to the more contoured hemi-face than to the heavier hemi-face and with more filler volume applied to the more contoured hemi-face than would be applied if the severity grade of the facial asymmetry were determined to be a grade 1 asymmetry;
• wherein at least some of the dermal injections are delivered to the cheek rectangle area and the cheek circle area of at least one hemi-face of the patient.
