When you look at someone’s face, you might not notice it right away, but if you look closely, you’ll notice that their face isn’t symmetrical. This is common. Our faces, and bodies, as well, are typically asymmetrical to some degree. We see a lot of faces at DermaTouch RN, and it’s the extremely rare occasion that someone comes in with an almost perfectly symmetrical face. In fact, some studies show that we prefer a bit of asymmetry because it adds character and distinction to our face. Even models, who are said to have symmetrical faces, often have asymmetrical faces if you look close enough (and before they’re photoshopped!).
Virtually every feature on our face is asymmetrical.
From our eyebrows to our lips to our nasolabial folds, every feature of our face on one side sits slightly higher or lower, to the left or right, or is deeper than the same feature on the other side. For example, one eyebrow will be higher than the other or might sit out a bit more on the face; the lips might sit slightly more to the left or right rather than in the center of the face directly under the nose; one nasolabial fold will typically be deeper than the other, and so on. In other words, we should think of features such as eyebrows and cheekbones as sisters and not twins.
It is true that some may have had an accident or something happened to where the asymmetry is more noticeable, but generally, we don’t take a second look at someone because we “notice” the asymmetry.
Many seek out MedSpas to “fix” asymmetry.
Many seek out the services of a MedSpa to create more symmetry in the face. Though this is possible to a degree with treatments that include fillers, like Juvederm, Voluma, and Restylane, or Botox, it’s not the perfect fix. Fillers are going to settle in with your current bone structure and features, so there will still be some asymmetry, regardless of what you’re promised. This is important to remember. Fillers can help you achieve more symmetry—and we love helping our clients see that—but there will still be at least a little asymmetry when it’s all said and done. In reality, this is a good thing, because it will give you a more natural look without the “fake” look we strive to avoid. Asymmetry also means that one side of your face will need more filler than the other to reach more symmetry.

A well-trained eye—like the practitioners have at DermaTouch RN—will be able to support you in obtaining as much symmetry as possible while still leaving a natural look.
