Everyone is asymmetric
Perfect bilateral symmetry does not exist in human faces and would look uncanny if it did. Eyes sit at slightly different heights, one side of the jaw is usually fuller, and most people have a dominant chewing side that shows. A mid symmetry score is the normal human result, not a defect, and the score exists to tell you whether your asymmetry is in that ordinary range or pronounced enough to be worth designing around.
Most reported asymmetry is camera error
This dimension is the most easily corrupted by photography of the six. A phone held even slightly off-centre, a head rotated a few degrees, or lens distortion at close range will all manufacture asymmetry that is not there. Front camera mirroring adds another trap: you are used to your mirrored face, so an unmirrored photo reads as more asymmetric to you than it actually is. Centre the nose, keep the phone at arm’s length and perpendicular to your face, and take the scan twice before believing a low score.
What to do with a genuinely low score
Real, mild asymmetry is best handled visually rather than corrected. An off-centre hair part rebalances the upper third. Brow grooming can equalise two brows that naturally sit at different heights — the higher brow usually needs less removal, not more. Glasses frames create a strong horizontal line that the eye reads as level even when the features behind it are not. Posture and habitual head tilt are worth checking too, because many people hold their head consistently off-axis and see it in every photo they take.

What this score will not tell you
- It measures a two-dimensional photo, so head rotation reads as asymmetry.
- It is not a medical assessment — sudden or one-sided change in facial movement is a doctor question, not an app question.
- A single low symmetry scan is weak evidence; two or three consistent ones are not.
How to improve it
- 01
Center your nose to the camera; tilted phones inflate asymmetry.
- 02
Compare multiple scans before overreacting to a single symmetry number.
- 03
Brows, hair part, and glasses can visually rebalance mild asymmetry.
