However, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to align your features and have a more symmetrical face. Science has proven that symmetrical faces are more attractive. Before we get into how to correct an asymmetrical appearance naturally, let’s first discuss the causes.
Why is my face so asymmetrical?
A variety of factors can lead to frustrating asymmetry and uneven facial features. By understanding the triggers and the underlying causes, it will be possible to avoid asymmetrical facial features.
You don’t need to panic if your environment is already triggering asymmetry. It’s possible to balance your facial features, which we’ll demonstrate shortly. Here are the top causes of an asymmetrical facial appearance.
Genetics
Sometimes, your genetic makeup can cause uneven facial features. While you might have a predisposition to certain features naturally, that doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t improve them.
Sun Damage
While a day in the sunshine is always a pleasant distraction from the hustle and bustle, harmful UV rays can cause the skin to become brittle and prone to premature aging and wrinkles. And if you tend to drive with your window open, the left side of your face may be aging faster than your right.
Aging
As you age, your skin loses its elasticity and firmness. This can lead to double chins, sagging cheeks, and unattractive creases that give the appearance of asymmetry. Your ears and nose may change shape with the passing of time, as cartilage grows each year.

Lifestyle Habits
The way you sleep can contribute to an asymmetrical appearance, especially if you always sleep on one side. As you place more pressure on your cheekbones, and the skin around them, sleeping on one side of the bed can cause creases and folds.

Face Yoga: How can it fix a lopsided face?
Face Yoga works well to restore facial symmetry for TWO main reasons.
Toning
Facial exercises are a form of resistance training for the face. You can tone your muscles by strengthening your jaw, cheeks, and chin. This firmer muscle can prevent and correct sagging skin. You can achieve a natural facelift, by tightening your muscles and lifting your features.
Collagen
Facial exercises are a second way to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. Collagen is responsible for skin elasticity and is the most abundant protein in your entire body (roughly 1/3 of all proteins).
Your skin will appear tighter and less wrinkled if you have more collagen. In many cases, the facial imbalance is caused by excess wrinkles and lines. If these lines are removed, your appearance will be more balanced.
