if the two sides of you body don't match that is it. Stand sideways in front of a mirror. Cover the left side of you face and use the mirror to create a mirror duplicate of you right side of the face. if it looks vaguely the same you are OK. Repeat with the right side covered. If that still looks like the other side you are OK. If the mirrored views look very different you have that "problem." it is not a big deal anyway since no one is perfectly symmetrical.

this is associated with obsessive compulsive behavior.....if you are constantly preoccupied with some real or imagined inperfection of any part of your body particularly your face...i.e. you keep poking at your face to get rid of imagined wrinkles or marks... etc....ask a friend for an objective judgement of your appearance....you may look better than you think.
