Facial Asymmetry

“Facial asymmetry” refers to the condition in which the two sides of a person’s face have different shapes or proportions, resulting in an imbalanced appearance. Facial asymmetry can be caused by various factors, such as genetics, injury, or changes in the structure of the bones or soft tissue in the face. Some degree of facial asymmetry is normal and common, but more significant asymmetry can affect a person’s self-confidence and lead to social and emotional distress. Depending on the cause and severity of the asymmetry, various cosmetic treatments may be available to improve facial symmetry, such as fillers, anti-wrinkle, or surgical procedures like rhinoplasty or cheek augmentation.
