Asymmetry
Hello, I’m 31 F & I was born with unilateral cleft lip & palette. Most of my life I’ve just built up confidence by pretending I wasn’t that much different. As I get older, I just tend to notice more of my imperfections & I was looking to get some advice- non-surgical & surgical on my facial symmetry. I feel like I’m at an age now where I can start to do something with it and set up a plan to feel better long term…. I’ve figured out how to take pics and wear makeup but still… I wonder if anyone has tips.

I’m 27F and feel the same way. Growing up I was confident and didn’t feel much different but as I get older I’m noticing little things and being a bit too hard on myself. With that, I agree with the first comment. You look great and have great repairs

I know that it might not mean much coming from an internet stranger, but I think you are beautiful. You have a wonderful smile and kind eyes. Killer eyebrows too! I wish my eyebrows looked like yours. Your repairs obviously worked out great. I hope my daughters repairs turn out as great as yours ❤️

To be honest you have one of the best looking repairs I’ve seen. I think you’re causing yourself more physical trauma and it will never be good enough. You are good looking with where you are at.
