This affects the shape of the head and face, resulting in a cone-shaped head and an asymmetrical face. Individuals with SCS also have droopy eyelids ( ptosis ), widely spaced eyes ( hypertelorism ), and minor abnormalities of the hands and feet ( syndactyly ). [ 2 ]
Sufferers feature severe cranial and facial deformities. The ears may be very poorly developed or absent, as may the nose. The eyelids may be everted , which leaves the eyes and the area around them very susceptible to infection. [12] Babies with this condition often bleed during birth. The lips are pulled back by the dry skin . [13]
Periorbital dark circles (including dark circles of the lower eyelid) are dark blemishes around the eyes. There are many causes of this symptom, including heredity and bruising . [ 1 ]
Statistical correlations does not inform anout possible causal dependence, so if observers judge the personality of (pictures of) symmetric faces differently than asymmetric ones, this might be due to cultural prejudice. Research indicates that a correlation exists between facial symmetry and the 'big-five' model of personality.
Droopy eyelids can give the face a false appearance of being fatigued, uninterested or even sinister. The eyelid may not protect the eye as effectively, allowing it to dry. Sagging upper eyelids can partially block the field of view. Obstructed vision may necessitate tilting the head backward to speak.
Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is often considered to be the product of developmental stress and instability, caused by both genetic and environmental stressors. The notion that FA is a result of genetic and environmental factors is supported by Waddington's notion of canalisation, which implies that FA is a measure of the genome's ability to successfully buffer development to achieve a normal ...
Regardless, an uneven long bob is worthy of a second look—both from passersby and those in need of a seasonal update. Here, 20 asymmetrical lob haircuts that prove refinement is better with an edge.
Common side effects are double vision, droopy eyelid, overcorrection, and no effect. The side effects typically resolve also within three to four months. Botulinum toxin therapy has been reported to be similarly successful as strabismus surgery for people with binocular vision and less successful than surgery for those who have no binocular vision.
