NO they are not all symmetrical. There have been studies that prove that people who have symmetrical faces are more attractive that those who have little symmetry but ones that are too symmetrical are non-attractive. In the test they used photos one of a symmetrical face and one unsymmetrical. The participants always chose the photo of the symmetrical face as being the more attractive. Cool huh? I thought so.

Most everybody has 'congenital (from birth) asymmetry' to a degree.

It is said that a facial photograph which is divided vertically will appear as two different people if you view each side together with a mirror image alongside itself.

Then there is the asymmetry of hypertrophy (when you use some muscles more than others) -- such as when you lay on a particular side more than the other while sleeping.

There are medical conditions such as subcutaneous (beneath the skin) processes, cysts, tumors, and other lesions which can cause asymmetry of the face.

Also, many of us are simply lop-sided and as a result have asymmetrical faces.

By and large it would be quite a feat to have a perfectly symmetrical face given all it must endure through our activities of daily living.

They're not perfectly symmetrical, no. It is said that the more symmetrical your face, the more appealing your outward appearance is to people and the more likely it is that you are a supermodel. I'm thinking it's not very common to have a symmetrical face. At least not a perfectly symmetrical one. I don't know why though
