Asymmetrical face - what might be causing this? (Photo)

As it turns out every single person in the world has facial asymmetry. As a craniofacial surgeon I see this in everyone I examine. I see this asymmetry in most cases as beautiful, unique, and usually not something that I recommend addressing with surgery.

Put in a google search for: George Clooney Facial Symmetry. It is a wonderful lesson to see how George Clooney, a very attractive man, has facial asymmetry just like the rest of us.

If you do have specific concerns, make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to get advice that you can trust.

Based on these photos, it doesn't look like your asymmetry is out of the normal range. Only on the basis of in-person evaluation an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon, could see whether the surgical intervention (volume augmentation) could be of any help. Hope this helps.

Facial asymmetry is universal- everyone has some degree of variation between the left and right sides of their face. If there are significant changes over time, it is important to rule out an infection or mass (which was done). When patients desire to decrease the asymmetry, filler are the most common technique used. It is important to remember that we can decrease asymmetry, not eliminate it. Good luck
