We’ll cut right to the chase—facial asymmetry is completely normal. “100% of the population has an asymmetric face,” says Dr. Manish Shah, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Denver. Yes, this means that your features—eyes, nostrils, cheekbones—are, in fact, not exactly the same.

Whether you’ve ever noticed the differences is another story, though facial asymmetry is what makes people feel like they have a “good side” and a “bad side,” points out Dr. Tanya Judge, a board-certified plastic surgeon in San Francisco.
