How to correct facial asymmetry

Facial asymmetry is a very serious condition. It not only affects the patient's facial aesthetics, but also affects the patient's speech and nerves. Therefore, patients should receive timely treatment when they experience this condition. When the face is asymmetrical, we must first correct the way we eat and perform massage, and then take medication or undergo surgical treatment according to the doctor's advice.

How to correct facial asymmetry:

1. When eating, try to stop using the masseter muscle on the fatter side of your face, and use the relatively thinner side of your face to chew food. It takes about half a year to see the effect of this method.

2. When you have free time, clench your fists, use the second finger joint to press against the masseter muscle (the place where your cheek bulges when you clench your teeth), and gently massage in circles.

3. Due to various pathological problems that cause asymmetry of the left and right faces, surgery is the only option. Bone grinding to change the face or autologous fat filling are both common methods, but plastic surgery has risks and must be performed in a regular hospital. Professional medical technology has a good effect on postoperative recovery.
