Question 1

what causes face asymmetry?

Accepted Answer

Skin, fat, bone, etc: Alterations in shape of skin, fat, muscle, bone, cartilage and other tissues as well as tumors can all be causes of facial asymmetry, diagnostic imaging is often required. Many options for treatment are available depending on the underlying cause. See a plastic surgeon, ENT or dermatologist for an initial evaluation.

Question 2

can cranial base asymmetry be corrected?

Accepted Answer

In babies...: To save some babies from SIDS, there is a cost which is large numbers of babies with flatter occiputs. The occiput is the back of the head, and is part of the cranial base. A corrective helmet can help a baby's head round out. An adult head is hard and solid, so bones have to be cut apart to move them. Doubt a surgeon will do that unless a situation is severe. Craniofacial clinics can help.

Question 3

can developing asymmetry on mammogram be benign?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, no one’s body is exactly symmetrical bilaterally. In some people, the differences will be more extreme than others. Please see your primary care doctor to evaluate whether the asymmetry is significant or not. Good luck.

Question 4

does everyone have  a slight degree of facial asymmetry?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Our face is formed by the two haves fusing in the midline, so they are different from side to side. For fun, take a picture of your face and cut it in the midline. Do the same for a picture in  the mirror.  Put the same two halves (but mirror images) together. It will not look right or like you!

Question 5

please answer: what means ill marginated focal asymmetry of low density in mammogram? should i be worry?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Mammograms are used to determine who needs further evaluation and closer monitoring. You should follow up with your doctor to discuss further plans prior to worrying. The worrisome finding usually seen on mammograms is calcification in a mass that can be felt or microcalcifications in the breast with no mass present.

Question 6

can an overbite cause facial asymmetry?

Accepted Answer

: Yes especially if only on one side or more on one side or the other. Dentist can help answer.

Question 7

can somebody tell me how much does facial asymmetry surgery cost?

Accepted Answer

Consultations: You would have to be seen by a plastic surgeon in order to discuss treatment and fees. Get a few consults and you will have the information you need in order to make an intelligent decision. &quot;facial asymmetry&quot; is a very broad category. The extent of the surgery, the experience of the surgeon and location of the office will be some of the factors in determining fees.

Question 8

help plz! can slight overbite only on one side cause facial asymmetry?

Accepted Answer

Facial asymmetry: There are many factors that can cause facial asymmetry, one of which is overbite. 

The best way to verify if this is the only/main reason for your facial asymmetry, is to see a dentist such as a general dentist or an Orthodontist.  They can tell you if the cause for your asymmetry is through your teeth and bony relationships.

Question 9

why is there asymmetry in my stomach? the left side is higher than the right.

Accepted Answer

All bodies imperfect: Nobody has a perfectly symmetric body. Most of these minor imperfections we notice are just unique aspects of how we're built. A mass in the abdomen could make it asymmetric too. If it's large enough to see, it should be large enough for a healthcare provider to feel. If the abdomen is obese, an ultrasound could exclude any mass large enough to cause visible asymmetry.

Question 10

can the habit of being on bed too much with face on pillow cause permanent face asymmetry?

Accepted Answer

: No worries, your face did not distort while you were asleep.
