Medical assessment of facial asymmetry may examine the facial bones, bite, jaw joints, and soft tissue and use imaging when needed. Before-and-after esthetic photos do not replace that assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limits of esthetic care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Esthetic care should not claim to move facial bones or correct asymmetry.
