The Relationship between Age and Facial Asymmetry

What is it about?

In our study, we took 3D images of 191 volunteers’ faces. We then calculated the overall amount of facial asymmetry in each face over a broad age range. We found a predictable increase in facial asymmetry correlating with an increase in age. The greatest amount of asymmetry and change in asymmetry with age was found in the lower 2/3rds of the face. We also found that asymmetry did not vary significantly based on race or sex. _x000D_
