I never really noticed the asymmetry before. I only ever saw that one of my cheeks was more hollow (the right one). But as my skin has started to sag a little (I’m only 23) I feel like the asymmetry is becoming more and more obvious. I also wonder if jaw asymmetry could explain why one of my nasolabial folds is deeper and longer (right one). I feel like my chin goes slightly to the left and my face seems smaller on one side. It just looks a little awkward. Can this be fixed?
