My eyes become asymmetrical when I smile. How can I fix this? (photos)

annemariexo
When I smile one eye squints more and displays more emotion. It started occurring occasionally when I was about 16. Now I'm 24 and it occurs over half the time. My face has become increasingly asymmetrical with time, and as a psych major I know symmetry & beauty are closely linked. My smile and cheeks are also not symmetrical. The eye asymmetry bothers me most, but I think it may all be connected. Is there a way to fix this? I've looked into face yoga but I'm open to anything if it will work.
