One eye might sit slightly higher or appear smaller.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have a questions?
Absolutely! A 95% symmetrical face is considered very balanced. Most people fall much lower on the scale, so if your face symmetry is around 95%, it means your features align almost perfectly.
In reality, no human face is 100% symmetrical. Tiny differences in muscles, bone structure, and even daily habits make perfect symmetry nearly impossible. And that’s okay because it’s those small differences that make faces interesting and unique.
It depends on the cause. Simple fixes like improving posture, practicing facial exercises, or adjusting your hairstyle can help visually balance your face. For more noticeable asymmetry, orthodontics, dental treatments, or cosmetic options are available. But don’t worry as mild asymmetry is normal and even adds character.
