Introduction
Facial symmetry: is a bodily measurement of one’s facial aspects. The measurement is precisely related to aesthetic traits of an individual and is also known to be associated with varying age, genetics and health (Kościński, 2007).

-Hemifacial Microsomia
This is a congenital disorder which affects the lower half of one side of the face. The affected side fails to grow at the normal rate and results in an abnormal look of the face. This condition mainly involves the ears, mouth, lips and the lower jaw. Hemifacial microsomia can also occur on both sides of the face. This condition has varying severity and symptoms but if it…
