Facial asymmetry means features on one side differ in shape, height or proportion from the other. Mild asymmetry is common and may become more noticeable over time.
/ Understanding the condition
Facial asymmetry means features on one side differ in shape, height or proportion from the other. Mild asymmetry is common and may become more noticeable over time.
Many visible concerns reflect normal differences in anatomy, skin structure or the way soft tissue is distributed. Genetics often determine how pronounced a feature is and when it becomes noticeable.
Ageing, hormonal shifts, pregnancy, weight change or everyday movement can alter the skin and supporting tissue over time. These changes are rarely caused by one factor alone.
A consultation can help distinguish a cosmetic concern from a condition that may need medical assessment. The most suitable next step depends on the cause, the area involved and the change someone would like to see.
/ Possible surgical solutions
The right procedure depends on the concern itself, the surrounding anatomy and your goals. That decision is made during consultation.
01
Rhinoplasty reshapes the framework of the nose to change proportion, profile, width or tip shape while respecting facial balance and nasal function. Planning is highly individual because small structural changes can have a large visual and functional effect.
02
Tip rhinoplasty, also called nasal tip refinement, focuses on the cartilaginous lower third of the nose. It may refine tip width, projection, rotation or asymmetry without necessarily altering the nasal bones or bridge.
