Key Summary of Non-Surgical Correction for Facial Asymmetry
Youtuber Oh Yerim's Actual Treatment Review
01 Patient's Concerns: Facial Asymmetry and TMJ Pain
- Appearance Concerns: Facial asymmetry where the face, from nose to chin, is rotated to the right when taking photos.
- Functional Issues: Clicking sounds and pain in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
- Whole-Body Pain: Neck, back, and waist pain due to text neck and rounded shoulders.
02 True Cause: Misaligned Posture and Spinal Imbalance
Facial asymmetry is often not just a problem with the facial bones. It's a 'Facial Asymmetry Syndrome' where the jaw (mandible) is misaligned to one side, causing the 1st and 2nd cervical vertebrae and the skull to twist along with it, with whole-body postural imbalance being the root cause.
- Structural Issues: Collapsed spinal curves such as text neck and rounded shoulders.
- Chain Reaction: TMJ disorder โ Cervical spine twisting โ Skull twisting โ Facial asymmetry.
03 Key Non-Surgical Treatment and Patient Satisfaction
A core treatment that realigns misaligned spine and skeleton. Personally, it was the most satisfying as my body, which had been stiff from sitting for a long time, felt very refreshed.
Relaxes tight muscles with acupuncture and straightens rounded shoulders through shoulder thread embedding. Satisfied with the refreshing and straightening feeling after the procedure.
04 Changes After Treatment: Health and Beauty Simultaneously
- Appearance Improvement: The previously broad facial contours became refined, and the jawline became slimmer.
- Habit Correction: Improvement in the asymmetrical speaking habit where only one corner of the mouth would rise.
- Reactions from Others: Viewers noticed first and gave positive feedback like 'You've become prettier.'
- Key Message: Before considering surgery, it's recommended to first consult to determine whether the cause of your asymmetry is a skeletal issue or a postural issue.
