What Causes Facial Asymmetry?

my left side of my face is more meatier whereas my right side is flatter what can be the reason for this I have heard that it can be due to the way you sleep so if you sleep on your right it will either be flatter or more swollen I m not sure which one is the case for this theory. another is that the way your jaw is shaped. But I m not sure so can you tell me the reason for this as my face looks really assymetric in photos.

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query in my opinion it seems to be due to congenital make up of your face. Sleeping with one side does not seems to have effect over it. Any medicines doesn't effect on it. However you can take help of plastic surgery to treat it. You can discuss it with your Doctor. I hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you good health. Take care.
