No one has a perfectly symmetrical face, but asymmetry can be more severe in
some individuals compared to others. There may be a noticeable difference in
the size of the left and right side of the face, size differences in the jawbones, and one side of the face may appear to look more “droopy.” For example,
one corner of the lip may droop compared to the other side or the lower half of
the face may look crooked, etc.
Surgery Method
In case there is an imbalance between the left and the right side of the
face while having different left and right jawlines, in case only the left and
right jaw lines differ, and in the case where there is also a lantern jaw or
protruded mouth, the appropriate surgical method must be chosen considering the
underlying causes for the facial asymmetry
Depending on the symptoms and severity of the asymmetry, the method of
surgery can differ. One may only need chin surgery or V-Line surgery if the
asymmetry lies on the lower jaw/chin and is not due to dental bite issues. If
there is asymmetry on both the upper and lower jaw, Double Jaw surgery may be
needed. By repositioning both of the jaws and making an incision on the area
needed, can be an effective method to treat the asymmetry. In combination
with Double Jaw Surgery, V-Line surgery or Chin Surgery (genioplasty) can be
performed together to even out the remaining asymmetry of the lower jaw.
