How to correct an asymmetrical face with one side larger than the other
In general, facial asymmetry with one side larger than the other may be caused by long-term unilateral chewing, facial deformities, genetic factors, asymmetric soft tissue development, or asymmetric bone development. Correction methods include adjusting chewing habits, facial massage, injection of botulinum toxin type A, hyaluronic acid injections, autologous fat grafting, orthodontic treatment, and jaw整形 surgery. It is recommended to consult a reputable hospital and choose an appropriate method under professional medical guidance.
Analysis of Causes for Facial Asymmetry:
Cause |
Long-term unilateral chewing |
Facial deformity |
Genetic factors |
Asymmetric soft tissue development |
Asymmetric bone development |
Causes Analysis |
Chewing on one side over time leads to hypertrophy of the masticatory muscles on that side |
Abnormal development of facial bones or soft tissues due to trauma, infection, etc. |
Growth and development influenced by family genetics |
Hormonal imbalance, neuromuscular dysfunction, etc., may lead to asymmetric soft tissue development |
Poor sleeping posture, calcium deficiency, scoliosis, etc., may cause asymmetric bone development |

Overview |
Controls contraction of facial muscles, causing masseter and other muscles to shrink and improving facial contours |
Injects hyaluronic acid into sunken or asymmetric areas of the face to create a more balanced contour |
Fat is harvested from another part of the body, processed, and injected into the face to improve facial contours |
Improves facial symmetry and contour by correcting tooth alignment and bite relationship |
Adjusts the shape and size of the jawbone through bone shaving or grinding to improve facial contour and symmetry |
