What is an Asymmetrical Face?
When you look at someone’s face and it’s symmetrical, this means their face has the exact same qualities on either side. An asymmetrical face is one that might have one eye larger than the other, eyes at different heights, different-sized ears, crooked teeth, etc. Most people have some level of asymmetry on their faces and it’s not at all unusual. Although most asymmetrical features are genetic, some are due to other causes.
What Causes an Asymmetrical Face? How to Fix Face Asymmetry?
If you’re wondering why one ear is bigger than the other or your eyelids don’t match, it’s possibly due to a number of couses. These causes are common.
Some scientists believe that we perceive proportional bodies to be healthier. Likewise, if a face is in proportion, we are more likely to find it beautiful. There are a large number of factors at play that cause facial asymmetry, from body stress level and muscle tone to posture. But today I would to uncover the main reasons for face asymmetry based on clinical research of the European school of cosmetology DIY BEAUTY School. These causes are new to a real understanding of facial asymmetry and are based on years of research and facial massage practice. Of course, we will be talking about cases of mild asymmetry. Severe cases of facial asymmetry like a stroke or injury should be treated with rhinoplasty, facial implants, fillers, etc.
How to fix asymmetrical face with exercise?
Have you got very visible facial asymmetry, which may be especially noticeable in photographs?
Have you got one eyebrow higher than the other? Have you got one cheek fuller than the other?
Thanks to the latest advancements in facial massage treatments, today it is possible to restore facial proportions and rejuvenate older features with different facial exercises and myofascial release techniques of non-surgical, non-invasive treatment options.I should also mention one very untraditional but successful method to correct asymmetrical face – Cranial Facial Release technique.
What causes a person to develop an asymmetrical face & how to fix face asymmetry?
- POOR POSTURE causes asymmetrical face
Forward head posture can leave prominent damage to your face. While it may feel comfortable for the body, it can do a great deal of damage to the face. When your head is positioned forward it pulls the myofascial chains of the entire face and causes facial asymmetry, double chin, and RESTING SAD FACE expressions.
SOLUTION
You can fix asymmetrical face by simply doing facial massage for asymmetry and morning posture correction exercises
- STRESS causes asymmetrical face
Facial asymmetry was found to be correlated with physiological, psychological, and emotional distress. Stress is printed daily on our faces. You may not notice that slowly day by day your facial expression becomes sad and tight. Stress may also lead to repeated furrowing of your eyebrows or pulling down your mouth corners. That also contributes immensely to the formation of facial asymmetry.
SOLUTION
You can fix your asymmetrical face by simply doing special exercises to release facial tension and make your face more symmetrical.
- LOW TEMPERATURE causes asymmetrical face
You may not know but in cold weather, facial muscles and all body muscles start to contract leaving the body frozen. This frozen posture or facial expression may stay on your face for long. Moreover, low temperature can provoke the inflammatory process in the lymph nodes of your neck, which of course is reflected on your face in the form of pimples and facial asymmetry.
SOLUTION
First of all, you need to dress well and protect your neck and head from cold. And of course, it would serve you right to visit a spa or sauna to warm up your body and relax facial muscles. This way you can relieve facial tension and make your muscles flexible.
- MUSCLE TONE causes asymmetrical face
I want to surprise you and tell you that muscle tension is critical for facial symmetry. Unlike other skeletal muscles in the body which attach to your bones, your facial muscles attach to other muscles or to your skin. This means that a tiny contraction in one of the muscles in your face pulls your facial skin and changes your expression and causes facial asymmetry. Did you know it?
SOLUTION
If your face looks asymmetrical because of muscle weakness, or uneven muscle tone, certain Myofascial release techniques for the face will help.
- DENTAL WORK can fix asymmetrical face
If you have even one tooth missing or crossbite this can provoke facial asymmetry. Orthodontic treatment can fix facial asymmetries in a number of ways, by treating the root of the problem. In addition to fixing the problem itself, orthodontics can affect other areas of your face as well, since they shift your teeth, and ergo, your jawbone, which dominos into affecting your whole face.
SOLUTION
Consult with your dentist about your bite and possible ways to fix it in order to get a more symmetrical face.
- FILLERS and BOTOX cause asymmetrical face
Yes! It may sound strange because you will find lots of clinics that offer to fix facial asymmetry with fillers and Botox injections. In fact, once you have your face done it will become more and more asymmetric in the future because injectable fillers will dissolve in 6 months as well as Botox leaving weak and flabby facial muscles as well as fibrotic tissues under the skin. Actually, you can make it even worse!!! The only way to get a symmetric face and keep it this way for years is to get a symmetric face naturally. If you ask me, how to get a symmetric face naturally? I will tell you that only face exercises can keep it symmetric naturally. You should understand that the health of facial muscles is crucial for a symmetric and healthy-looking face, which is not possible after doing fillers and injections.
SOLUTION
Even if you already have had injections to your face, still one month after it you can perform facial symmetry exercises that will help you keep your face lifted and symmetric as well as remove unwanted toxins after injections from your skin.
- UNCONTROLLABLE MIMICS can cause asymmetrical face
If you repeat one and the same mimic every day your facial muscles adjust to it and tighten up in some areas. For example, if you frown all the time or pull your lips, with time your face will look frowned upon and unhappy just because you do not control your mimics.
SOLUTION
Put a mirror in front of your desk at work, for example, and start to analyze your daily habits and facial expressions. With time you will start to understand the facial patterns that cause face asymmetry.
- AGING causes asymmetrical face
With age, our face tends to lose volume and the skin loses elasticity, often becoming saggy. This means that with time, even faces that were previously considered symmetrical tend to get asymmetrical. Aging causes for example cartilage on the face to grow and get swollen. That is why the nose and ears start to get bigger as time passes by. This is due to the bad circulation of liquids in the face and slow lymphatic drainage, and as result, face asymmetry.
SOLUTION
Facial drainage exercises for nose size correction and many other facial symmetry exercises will help you get proportion to your face, improve skin elasticity and get back volume to your face naturally.
- PREGNANCY causes asymmetrical face
Pregnancy changes a woman's body completely beginning with hormone levels and ending with forming a new organ placenta! All these changes reflect on a face in the form of 'melasma', swollen face, and facial asymmetry. Pregnancy makes your face look different and it is fine, but how to get my face back to normal? That is the question I can answer. I have 3 kids and I surely know how to get my face back. I made a special face fitness program for women who have kids and don’t have time, but want to look great! This face fitness video program is for you: Basic transformation - 10 years OFF! It will help you look even better than ever.
- SUN causes asymmetrical face
The biggest damage to the face of course is done by the sun. If you don’t wear sun-protecting glasses you will frown all the time. Now imagine if you stay in the sun all day long how many new wrinkles you are going to get, not to mention new facial expressions. Don’t be surprised that by the end of the day one of your eyebrows will be higher than the other or you will start to squint your eyes.
SOLUTION
Wear a hat and sun-protecting glasses with UV glass to protect your face from frowning.
- BELL’S PALSY causes asymmetrical face
Sudden facial asymmetry is a sign of a more serious condition. Bell’s palsy is the paralysis of facial nerves, causing a new or sudden onset of weakness in the muscles on one side of your face. Bell’s palsy facial asymmetry is caused by the muscles on one side of your face being less able or unable to move. Bell’s palsy can occur after pregnancy or a viral infection, and it’s most often temporary.
SOLUTION
The condition normally gets better by itself, with most achieving normal or near-normal function. Often signs of improvement begin within 14 days, with complete recovery within six months. If you have Bell’s palsy after 3 months you can fix it with face fitness video programs with step-by-step face fitness video instructions.
- TORTICOLLIS causes asymmetrical face
Also called “twisted neck”, torticollis refers to the abnormal positioning of your neck muscles. Sometimes torticollis happens while you’re in the womb, resulting in some facial asymmetry when you are born. Eye weaknesses can cause you to tilt or twist your neck in different ways to see better, resulting in your muscles growing stronger on one side of your neck than the other. Many cases of torticollis are temporary and the signs resolve. Less commonly it can be permanent.
SOLUTION
Torticollis is usually temporal and the pain and difficulty with turning the head usually go away after a few days, even without treatment in adults
Takeaway
Facial asymmetry can be prominent and obvious, or it can be minimal not too noticeable. It can be a part of what makes you uniquely attractive, or it can detract from your self-confidence. If your face is slightly asymmetrical, know that you are in the majority.
