Facial Asymmetry

The sutures of the skull shift, or a facial nerve is compressed, leaving the two sides of the face unequal. In most cases both factors are at work.

Q. Can it be managed without surgery?

A.

Unless the cause is a difference in the size of the jawbone itself, an approach that adjusts the misaligned structure can be tried first.

📝 Detailed Answer

If the facial asymmetry comes from a difference in the size of the jawbone itself, adjusting the structure alone has its limits. Where it instead arises from misalignment of the neck vertebrae, jaw joint and pelvis together, an approach that aligns that axis can be tried first.

Which of the two it is only becomes clear on measurement. So we do not open by saying "this can be done"; we look at the examination findings and then tell you what range is possible.

For reference, methods that pull on muscle and skin with threads or procedures can improve the outward appearance for a time. But if the misaligned axis stays as it is, it can return with time, so it is better to look at the cause alongside.
