I have always been bothered by my face being asymmetrical. I remember when I was 13 staring into mirrors and wondering why my face wasn't like everyone else's. As I am about to hit 30, the problem has seemed to get worse and bother me more. I know am a beautiful woman despite this. I have worked on my other features, like my hair, figure, and eyes to try to distract from how my face is asymmetrical. I haven't seen before and after pics where this sort of problem is corrected. How about a slightly crooked mouth? I Please help.
