Lopsided Face

[Bettrluv]

I have been struggling for a rlly long time with my face. It's really crooked in photos and it drives me insane. I have been told one of my eyebrows are lower than the other so I got a procedure done to raise it. My eyebrows are wayyy more even now but I'm still not satisfied with how I look. I still feel like my cheek is bigger on one side and that one side of my face is lower than the other. I just wish I didn't look the way I do. I feel horrible. Idk what to do! How do I change it??? I can't afford plastic surgery. I'm rlly depressed and anxious because of this. Below is a picture of my face from when I was 15 and I am now 19. But u can see how uneven my eyebrows were and my face just looks off.

I think your face is beautiful i cant even notice it looking lopsided i feel my face is crooked too but everyone says im being ridiculous. I think we are our own worst critic and we should stop picking ourselves apart cause i think your face is pretty i hope this has helped

I have facial asymmetry too. Mine is due to being born with a misshapen skull. I've had surgery and it fixed some of my facial difference, but the rest of my skull is still the same. I was so hopeful that the surgery would improve my quality of life. I can at least now look at people with more confidence. But the stares, judgements, and ridicule are still an everyday burden.

I'm in therapy. After everything I do in life to try to camouflage/fix my difference (surgery, various hair styles, wigs) nothing really changes. I'm so so tired. I'm so exhausted wasting time and energy on this. I'm so beat down worrying about it everytime I leave the house, or being distracted by the memories I have of the reactions. I just want to rest. I just want it to stop.

You're so pretty, and unique. I love your style. You're a true original. Being asymmetrical doesn't mean being unattractive. But I understand the frustration and depression and feeling trapped and unable to resolve your concerns. It's like no matter what you do, you keep coming back to it. We can be happy, we can have awesome experiences, but that concern is always there. Nagging at you.

Where I am in therapy is acceptance. It's hard. But literally feels like my only viable option.

I wish you the best. Keep us posted.

It looks a bit like plagiocephaly due torticollis i dont really think there is much that can be done. But i'm not sure. I know its hard, i also have it very hard with this issue but i still think you look pretty cute

I know this is an ld question but you are beautiful! And at 15 you could apply eyeliner better than I do at 30! 😊

I'm not saying his just to be kind, I am always tactful but honest. If you ever ģ this and are still active on Changing Faces, you don't actually look asymmetrical to me except your eyebrows. But you say you have had them fixed? You totally rock the elfin pixie cut and you are honestly a pretty girl in this picture. I hope not to offend you but you look very conventionally attractive! 😄

Can you breath, can you eat, can you smile. I'm pretty sure you can do all these things in life. This is your face accept it and move on. There are a lot better and whole lot worse faces and problems a person can have. That's my advice.

It's interesting to see this post receiving replies a year on - it's great to see the community continue to relate and offer advice. Lots of the advice seems to touch on acceptance, which is a good suggestion, but as lots of you will know can be easier said than done at times.

It's important to make sure we're not coming across as insensitive to people's feelings when we're giving advice. Everybody has their own experiences and is at different stages on their journey - we don’t ever know somebody's whole story, or exactly how things feel for them. It may feel dismissive to be reminded that other people are worse off, or to be told simply to accept a situation that someone is finding hard. Of course, it's all relative, and some perspective can be useful at times. However, it's important to remember that another person's struggle is valid, even if we suspect we'd feel differently in their shoes.

Mine looks exactly like that. Im 15 and it’s became one of my biggest insecurities. My family says I don’t have one because they don’t want me to feel down on myself. But everytime I’m in pictures it’s all lopsided and a couple friends have pointed it out. I don’t know what to do. My lips are uneven, my eyebrows are uneven, and my eyes are uneven. What should I do?

Hey, I have a similar condition. Don't feel like you're alone. There's millions of adults living with adult plagiocephaly and related issues. Keep your head up.
