Abnormal face

I hate to sound like a whiner when of course I know there are people out there with worse issues than mine, but here it is...

All my life, I've had 2 sides of my face that do not match. My right cheek is bigger than my left cheek. Basically, everything about the right side of my face is broader than the left, and that includes the face, the butt cheek, thigh, everything..It's almost as if I should have been the villain "2 face" in the Batman series. Every time I ask someone if they can see the difference of the two in my appearance, they tell me that I look fine, but I know that I'm not crazy. In photos, my right side is more structured, while my left cheek for instance looks as though it could use some tissue stuffed in it. *sigh* Anyone going through the same issue? And is it normal to have 2 sides of your face or body that don't match?

    As an artist, one of the most important rules in symmetry of portraits is that there are none. No two eyes, brows, hands, etc. are the same. My face included - and people find me very attractive. Doesn't mean you're ugly or dysfunctional in anyway.

    I saw in a documentary about sex appeal that it is normal to have a "pretty" side and an "ugly" side of the face. I'm sure everyone is aware of what looks off about themselves. Apparently, in the documentary it states that when we're in the womb we are laying on one side. So you can imagine where the difference in the sides comes in. They did an experiment on a guy and a girl where they took a normal picture of their faces and then did an edited photo where they made both sides of the faces match. They then began to tell people that they were twins and asked which one looked better. It's obvious which one looked better... So yeah, it's perfectly normal.

    no one's perfectly symmetrical. I'm sure it's not extreme, since you're asking about it.

    I had a similar problem but with my biceps. One is bigger than the other and it drove me nuts...eventually I just got used to it.

    My left side is messed up a little. It's hard to explain but I can always crack it and thinks are a little bigger/longer.
