Asymmetrical face?

Question

Half my face, i guess is more "sculpted" than the other side.
Like it has a jaw line, but the other side doesn't.
What caused this?
I have no idea if I was born with this.
Is this normal?

Answer 1

Actually, asymmetry in faces if more common than perfect symmetry.

One of the things our brains are programmed to find attractive is symmetry, but studies have shown that it is actually quite rare to be completely symmetrical. Many celebrities who are considered especially good looking have extremely symmetrical faces, and neurologists theorize that that is part of their appeal to the general public. I read an article about it once, and they superimposed a grid over a picture of Denzel Washington's face, and it showed that his face is extremely symmetrical in every way. They also showed several other people, and with the help of the grid, the asymmetry became very obvious.

I have a friend who was very overweight when he was young, so he had a very round face with no jaw line. When he lost weight when we were juniors in high school, he suddenly lost the symmetry, and had one side of his face where the jaw line was quite noticeable, while the other side was not. He asked his doctor about it, and his doctor said it was most likely due to the fact that we humans tend to favor chewing our food on one side of our mouths exclusively. Obviously, both jaw muscles work when we chew, but the side we are chewing our food on gets more of a workout because of the resistance of the food. My friend tracked it for a few days, and sure enough, he chews his food exclusively on one side of his mouth, and that's the side where his jaw line is more noticeable. My guess is that might be your case, as well, and that simple genetic asymmetry also contributes to the difference.

If it's any comfort to you, most people don't notice asymmetry unless it is extremely pronounced or they are looking for it specifically. I would imagine most people don't notice it, even if you do. I know that in my case, my most obvious asymmetry is actually a bit less obvious because it's my ears. One of them is quite a bit lower than the other--low enough that when I finally got eyeglasses they had to adjust the nose pieces to keep my glasses from looking crooked. I noticed it years ago, but when I mentioned it to my family, no one had noticed it.

You can mention it to your doctor the next time you are in for a visit, just to make sure there isn't a problem with the nerves in one side of your face, but I am betting it's just a natural asymmetry, and nothing at all to worry about.

I hope that is of some use to you.

Answer 2

Asymmetrical Face

Answer 3

My friend's sister has an asymmetrical face and she's not ugly at all. She does though have such a noticeable problem, as to have to cover one side of her face with her hair. There are people with good symmetry and they aren't attractive at all. No one is perfect.

Answer 5

hahah it should be normal
but then again, i don't really know what you look like
if you're really that concerned, ask a doctor

but nobody in this world is perfectly symmetrical

Answer 6

no one should have a symmetrical face. it shows that we are complex organisms.

you could take mirror images of half your face and they would not be the same.
