Facial Asymmetry

Because of its impact on the harmony of the face, facial asymmetry often prompts consultations for both functional and aesthetic reasons. It refers to visible differences between one side of the face and the other, whether in the features, the contours, or the movements.

Possible origins: it may be a natural and mild characteristic, or be related to developmental factors, previous injuries, or alterations in facial muscles and nerves.

When is it worth reviewing? When the difference appears suddenly, becomes more pronounced, or is accompanied by weakness in moving the face, it is worth seeking guidance promptly.

Specialists who evaluate it: depending on the case, a plastic surgeon, an aesthetic physician, or a general surgeon can study the origin and the options. Seeking a professional evaluation helps to understand what causes it before considering any step.
