the right hand side of my face has always been sunken and i feel as though i have no muscle there which means i have an uneven smile too. It has been like this for as long as i can remember and i feel very self conscious and ugly. It knocks my confidence and wondered what surgery can be carried out to rectify this? Please help! I want to start living a normal life.
