Why Is One Of My Baby S Cheek Larger Than Other?

When Hanna was born she developed a flat head on one side and one of her cheeks was larger than other. We went to a head shape specialist and were told that she will grow out of it. But she s one years old now and the cheek is still bigger than other. Why?
