An urgent plastic surgery consultation is recommended for definitive diagnosis and treatment.
Yes, Parry–Romberg syndrome can cause similar facial changes, so it should be ruled out before planning treatment by a Plastic Surgeon.

Thanks for your response. I just googled this syndrome. I don\'t have this much asymmetry but sometimes I feel like a nerve is pulled on this side of the neck too. is it due to that?

you need to consult for proper evaluation.

Facial asymmetry can happen for different reasons, including normal facial variation, dental or jaw issues, muscle changes, weight loss, nerve-related conditions, or sometimes increased anxiety and over-focusing on appearance. In some people, excessive worry about a perceived defect in appearance may also be related to Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), where a person becomes highly distressed by changes that may appear mild or not noticeable to others.
Since you have noticed a visible change and it is causing significant anxiety, it is important to have a proper assessment rather than relying on self-diagnosis. If there is sudden facial weakness, difficulty speaking, numbness, severe headache, or vision changes, seek urgent medical care immediately.
I would recommend booking an online consultation so a detailed assessment can help determine whether this is mainly a physical issue, anxiety-related concern, or part of a condition like BDD, and guide you toward the most appropriate treatment and support.

I feel it can be due to jaw because I had braces application in 2020. Then, I feel it\'s because of a nerve because when I massage this side of my neck, I feel a pain in nerve while it doesn\'t occur on the other side. Also, I had depression too and lost weight as well. It\'s not too much but I fear what if it\'s increased.
