After three-part facial contouring, horizontally flipped photos are less scary

My face being wide was one thing, but the asymmetry was also subtly stressful. When I flipped photos horizontally, one cheekbone and side of my jaw looked more prominent, so I always chose only the angle that looked good. I had the three-part procedure—cheekbones, square jaw, and chin tip—with Doctor A at [Clinic A]. While looking at the CT scan, the doctor showed me how the bone shapes differed on each side, and the difference was greater than I had thought. They explained that the goal was not necessarily to make both sides exactly the same, but to balance the overall proportions, which made it easy to understand. At first, I could not really tell because of the swelling, but as it went down, I could see my facial outline changing. As my cheekbone width decreased and my formerly angular jawline became smoother, my face looked much less broad than before. Maybe because the chin tip was refined too, my overall balance from the front also seems better than before. The asymmetry has not become perfectly identical like a copy on both sides, but I no longer look for it first when viewing photos. Before, I was busy reducing the cheekbones, narrowing the jaw, and matching both sides when editing my face shape in photos, but these days there is clearly much less to touch up. Personally, this is probably the change I notice most from facial contouring.
