Asked By:Thriving93729 in Roma, Lazio, Italia

Im an 18 year old male with a congenital osseous torticollis which has caused my face to look asymmetric, such as: one eye lower than the other and right jaw more angled than the other. The nose is crooked because i fell as a kid. I'd like to know if all these problems can be fixed, especially the jaw. Once fixed, will they slowly become asymmetric again due to the torticollis?
