How To Treat Facial Abnormalities?

Hi, I m from Kochi, Kerala, India. I m 30 years old, working as Asst. Professor. I m totally depressed with my face shape even after having underwent a bite correction surgery (thought that would correct my facial shape, may be I was ignorant about it). I feel awkward to stand teach in front of my students with a distorted asymmetric face as I have been a victim of people teasing me and my face structure since my teen age.. I thought underbite correction would correct my facial structure but it didn t.. Now my face looks like a total V Shape with very low cheeks on either sides. But the saddest part is that the height between my chin point and lower lip is more than half the length of my index finger which gives me a masculine appearance. Why I seem to be highly affected is that I had a truly round shaped face and chubby cheeks but not anymore.. I feel totally down but I have learned to hide my feelings (which I know affects my entire health in a drastic manner). I don t get an idea on what is to be done, will I be OK or not?? or Do I have to compulsively make my mind accept that I have to live with these abnormalities.? I badly need help as it is affecting my self image to a higher extend.. I also know external beauty alone is not the benchmark for self image but my external environment highly raise comments about one s facial beauty, specially if it s a female(my face was not chosen by me yet I feel helpless before others starings and comments) I need a proper guidance on the same. Thanks and Regards Syama

Hello,

As you said, only external beauty is not a benchmark for anything. I too believe that external appearance is helpful for certain period, it does not count much.

You need to be more confident, do not bother much about what other people say. Let them talk, it’s up to you, how you react to their criticism, do not let it affect your self-confidence. Be brave and face the world.

About your problem, it will be better if you send me your picture, I can have a better idea of your concern. Nowadays there are lots of non-surgical modalities which can help you, so do not worry.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priya Mohod Shirsat
