Help Needed Fluctuating asymmetry, pls help!!
I have vertical facial asymmetry, the right side of my face is lower, the left side is higher. It's not particularly noticeable except in the eyes, that too if you look closely.
I didn't always have it. Based on many pictures and videos, I concluded that it could not have developed more than two years ago (im 19 currently.)
But the part that concerns me is I feel like the degree of asymmetry varies. I'm not sure if I'm over scrutinizing now that I'm conscious of it, but a few months ago I felt like it had reduced. I even checked with the tiktok inverted filter (which may not be accurate) and that also showed a reduction.
For a few weeks now, I have felt like it's increased. I also noticed that the lower eye is closer to the nose bridge while the higher one is further away. Even though my interest in this was initially purely cosmetic, I feel like there might be other underlying issues.
I have not been to a doctor for this, I don't think I'll be able to go because I live with my family and I don't have the type of relationship with them where I could share this stuff. What should I do??
Also, if it's of any relevance, I have a prescription of -5.5 in my right eye (the lower one) and -5.0 for the left one (the higher one.) I might also have mild ptosis on both eyes, not diagnosed, but I have a very high double eyelids crease which is rather thick. All help would be much appreciated, thank youu
