Question

Hi, I am a male, I am 21 and I am unhappy about my facial asymmetry. The jaw asymmetry and the eyes asymmetry are very marked especially in photos it is shown very clearly. If I send you a few photos, can you give me an opinion, please?

Answer

In general terms, we all have asymmetries for the face and body, and quite marked. If the evaluation of the asymmetry is made using selfies, the distortion of the image produced by the camera amplifies the asymmetries.

It is possible to evaluate on computer imaging and simulation in 3-D some of the parameters that could be improved upon, but in the end it is not possible to eliminate facial asymmetry in anybody.
