the right side of my face is 'bigger' than the left. it never used to be but about 2 years ago i noticed that the cheek is quite alot bigger and that my nose bends a bit to the side.
my doc said thet 'it was because i was going growing up and that my face would even out' but i think he just wanted next patient
does anyone know of anything that causes this of if it is natural or if it will go?

It could be that your growing and it might even out, but I don't ever remember hearing of such a thing. I would get a second opinion from another doctor if it were me.
