Surgical Methods of Facial Asymmetry

Facial asymmetry surgeries fall into largely two categories depending on the degree of asymmetry.

Those with asymmetrical faces tend to suffer from low self-esteem due to their unbalanced appearances and inaccurate pronunciations. Facial asymmetry must be corrected as well because of malocclusion, which induces temporomandibular disorders, uncomfortable masticatory muscle movements and digestive problems.
