Aurofacial asymmetry (from Latin auris 'ear' and facies 'face') is an example of directed asymmetry of the face. It refers to the left-sided offset of the face (i.e. eyes, nose, and mouth) with respect to the ears. On average, the face's offset is slightly to the left, meaning that the right side of the face appears larger than the left side.
Plagiocephaly is a diagonal asymmetry across the head shape. Often it is a flattening which is to one side at the back of the head and there is often some facial asymmetry. Depending on whether synostosis is involved, plagiocephaly divides into two groups: synostotic, with one or more fused cranial sutures, and non-synostotic (deformational).
It can cause painless facial asymmetry, diplopia and enophthalmos. Diagnosis is suspected based on symptoms, and can be confirmed using a CT scan . Treatment is surgical involving making an outlet for mucous drainage from the obstructed sinus, and, in some cases, paired with reconstruction of the orbital floor.
“Facial balancing is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to enhance and harmonize the proportions of the face using injectable dermal fillers,” says Glenicia Nosworthy, MD, an internal ...
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 ...

(A) The average face from N = 200 (Blanz & Vetter, 1999; Troje & Bülthoff, 1996) with the tragus of the ears aligned with the horizontal axis of the im- age plane. Red-shaded area denotes significant aurofacial asymmetry to the left side. The asymmetry with respect to the symmetric reference face is displayed exaggerated by a factor five.
Ordinarily, a big smile makes your eyes crinkle at the corners, but the study authors left their model's eyes alone because facial reconstruction techniques are pretty limited when it comes to ...
