Why does my face look like it's sliding? (Photo)

Asked By:Kassandra914 in Bronx, NY

Why does my face look lopsided?!?! It doesn't look as bad in person as it does in pictures but is there any explanation for this? The left side of my face is long as skinny and the right side is fuller. My face seems to be sliding. Is there anyway I can fix this? I always have to explain to people why I don't like taking pictures!

What you're experiencing is most unusual. One worry about damage to the superficial temporal nerves. They are juxtaposed with the super facial temporal vessels and there may be some relationship relative to healing between these two. Have this checked out by your plastic surgeon.
