Not really. Perhaps a tiny bit but it's not the real problem, which is more in the darker ares. The image looks a bit flat. It is tonally nice but it lacks strenght and contrast in the darker areas.
I tried a little Photoshop edit
but to really solve the issue, you should replace the lights in the scene.
The way it is placed now, the fill light lightens too much the left edge of the face, and does not fill enough where it's really needed (the shadow of the nose).
On the other hand, the main light is perhaps too central. This flattens the line features on the face, which appear only in the left side.
You should place the main light more lateral (more to the side), and you should place the fill light more central, and also set it lower (less luminous).
This of course is my personal opinion!
