Patient's question:
Around the age of four or five, I noticed that one side of my face was larger than the other. It has been about four or five years since then, and it seems to be more noticeable than before. I had a CT scan at a local hospital, and the doctor said there were no problems with the bones.Doctor's answer:
Any face is slightly asymmetrical, but it's not obvious. That's because you usually sleep on one side, and the compressed side tends to be a bit smaller due to poor blood circulation. If it's very noticeable, you can correct it through cosmetic surgery. Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, don't panic. You should take your child to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Also, pay attention to regular check-ups for your child and follow the doctor's guidance for symptomatic treatment.
