Cosmetic osteopathy and facial asymmetry

Many patients who present with facial asymmetry turn to plastic surgeons without knowing the real cause. Yet the cause of facial asymmetry may be directly linked to asymmetry of the body. Because problems such as kyphosis and scoliosis cause an imbalance in the spinal column, this effect spreads throughout the whole body — even up to the face.

Stress, injuries and postural problems can also cause facial asymmetry. Osteopathic techniques address these causes by working with the soft tissues, the nervous system and the bones.

Unlike injections or device-based cosmetology, cosmetic osteopathy produces longer-lasting effects.
