Is there a procedure to fix a very asymmetrical face?

Question

My face used to be very symmetrical when I was kid but now that I'm 20 i look almost deformed in pictures half of my face is slanted and looks like I had a stroke, I have a slight underbite as well i don't know if this is the reason for my eyes to be unbalanced but I'm getting braces to fix my uneven jaw soon. Just wondering if there is anything I can do to fix my super unsymmetrical face my cheeks and my lips is uneven too! Sigh..

You have a complete facial asymmetry of the right side of your face which is vertically shorter than the other side. This is seen from the lower eyebrow down to the chin deviation. Yours is a superioly-based facial asymmetry meaning that the eyebrows and eye are more severely affected than the lower jaw and chin. But everything between them (like the nose and lips) is also affected. Like all facial asymmetry patients it is important to establish a list of the affected structures and then priority them as to which is most important to surgically address as well as how effective surgery is at improving them. Must by severity alone that could be eyebrow, eye and cheeks.
