Facial Asymmetry can be due to abnormal development of the soft or hard tissues of the face. Most commonly, surgical correction of facial asymmetry is directed at normalizing facial proportion by addressing over-or under-growth of one side of the face or jawbones; this may involve corrective jaw surgery, TMJ surgery, or soft tissue manipulation.
