Also i think its affect my face shape overall, it makes my right side of my face look larger than the left, possible to reduce or get rid of that? Im also 16, so will it change through ageing?

Thank you foryour question and photo. It appears that you have asymmetry of the bones of theface which can occur with development and growth spurts at puberty. The good news is that things will stabilize soon.  There are corrective craniofacial procedures that can be used toaddtess this issue.  Discuss with your parents and schedule anappointment with a craniofacial surgeon.  Best wishes.

thank you for your question and photo. It appears that you do have some facial asymmetry. There can be several causes for this. Since you live near Columbus, I would suggest having your parents make an appointment for you to be seen at Nationwide Children's Hospital craniofacial unit. They are the experts in causes and treatments for these kind of problems. Best of luck.

You have facial asymemtry which is more prominent in some than others.  Unless you want major cranioifacial surgery, it is unlikely that the two eyes can be placed on the same plane.
