Introduction
一般情况下,两边脸不对称可能与牙齿排列不整齐、表情过度、衰老、肥胖、Bones结构异常等因素有关。可以通过正畸Treatment、注射用A型肉毒毒素、自体脂肪填充、吸脂Surgery、磨骨Surgery等Method进行改善。如有改善需求,Recommendation前往正规医院咨询。

In general, facial asymmetry may be related to factors such as misaligned teeth, excessive facial expressions, aging, obesity, or abnormal bone structure. It can be improved through orthodontic treatment, botulinum toxin type A injections, autologous fat grafting, liposuction, or osteotomy surgery. If improvement is desired, it is recommended to consult a reputable medical institution.

Analysis of Causes of Facial Asymmetry:

1. Misaligned Teeth

Misaligned teeth can affect chewing patterns. When the bite is abnormal—such as crossbite on one side or individual tooth malposition—the masseter muscles on both sides experience uneven stress during chewing. Long-term use of one side for chewing causes that side's masseter muscle to become overdeveloped due to excessive exercise, leading to facial asymmetry. This condition can generally be corrected with orthodontic treatment.

2. Excessive Facial Expressions

Facial expressions are controlled by facial muscles. Overusing the muscles on one side can lead to hypertrophy of those muscles, resulting in asymmetry. It is important to consciously reduce such habits. Corrective measures include practicing normal facial expressions in front of a mirror, or applying warm compresses and gently massaging the overdeveloped muscle areas for 10–15 minutes per session, 1–2 times daily.

3. Aging

With age, the body gradually loses collagen and elastic fibers. Facial fat distribution also changes, often leading to sagging fat pads. Additionally, the degree of aging may differ between the two sides of the face. This type of asymmetry can be improved with treatments such as autologous fat grafting.

4. Obesity

When body fat accumulates, facial fat increases as well, and this accumulation may not be evenly distributed across both sides of the face. Weight loss through regular physical activity—such as running, swimming, or jumping rope—can help reduce overall body fat and improve facial symmetry.

5. Abnormal Bone Structure

Congenital skeletal development issues or acquired trauma may cause facial asymmetry. Fractures from injury, if not properly treated, may heal with bone deformities, contributing to facial imbalance. In such cases, corrective osteotomy surgery may be considered depending on the severity.

Analysis of Treatments for Facial Asymmetry:

Treatment Orthodontic Treatment Botulinum Toxin Type A Injection Autologous Fat Grafting Liposuction Osteotomy Surgery
Example Image
Mechanism Adjusts tooth position and occlusion by wearing braces Blocks nerve impulses between nerves and muscles, causing over-contracted muscles to relax and gradually atrophy Harvests fat from other body areas and injects it into sunken facial regions Removes excess fat using a vacuum-assisted device Reshapes part of the zygomatic or mandibular bone
Suitable Candidates Individuals with asymmetry caused by misaligned teeth or poor occlusion Individuals with asymmetry due to masseter muscle hypertrophy Individuals with asymmetry due to facial hollowing Individuals with asymmetry due to facial fat accumulation Individuals with asymmetry due to abnormal bone structure
