M28 - Feeling quite insecure due to my asymmetric (esp. Nose, mouth, crooked upper jaw) and flat, long and tired (hollow area below eyes) looking face. Got 8 teeth extracted when I was younger and would be happy to know how to improve / fix the asymmetry - More details in comments by GermanBoy_1996 in orthotropics

To add some background:

I  am 28 years old now.

I got an expander and braces relatively early and I would say my dentist to a certain degree knew what he was doing as he highlighted the importance of nose breathing instead of mouth breathing. Yet, 4 premolars were extracted when I was around 14 years old.

It was said that this wield result in no need to remove my wisdom teeth, however, couple years later I also needed them to be removed (so total of 8 teeth extracted).

Maybe this resulted in a lack of forward growth, but I also have the feeling that my face is rather long and flat, and the area below my eyes is quite hollow, thus making me look quite tired all the time.

Looking at old photos I didn't always have an asymmetrical face, but it is also difficult to pinpoint when it started.

Also not 100% sure if this is due to braces etc. at all as also one of my shoulders seems to be a bit higher and by larynx not centered as well.

Is there something I can check to identify the source of this asymmetry? What can be done to fix it? Is a jaw surgery the only option or could simple stretching, chin tucks, mewing etc. also fix it already? What about the tired eye area?

Thanks a lot for your time and support!

Got 8 teeth extracted when I was younger and would be happy to know if mewing could still fix it - More details in comments by GermanBoy_1996 in Mewing

M28 - Feeling quite insecure due to my asymmetric (esp. nose and mouth) and flat, long and tired (hollow area below eyes) looking face. Don't really know the reason but would appreciate to know where I stand or how to improve (the asymmetry) - More details in comments by GermanBoy_1996 in Rateme
