Hi guys I'm a 17 year old male. So I haven't really noticed it until recently but my right side is fatter than than my left. It is most noticeable in pictures while in the mirror I look good. I used to be very good looking (in pictures) when i was 14 or 15 ish. Since then I hate looking at pictures of myself and I think it's because one side of my face has become noticeably fatter than the other. I just checked right now in the mirror by measuring the distance from outer nostril to the beginning of the ear and the right side was in fact about an inch bigger. I used to attract girls while also thinking I was attractive. Now I still am able to attract a lot of girls but it's bothering me and I don't have that same confidence. It's made me really depressed t times and I don't know why. Acne may have something to do with that too, but it's mostly how I hate looking at pictures.
Now this may be personal, but I've read that excessive masturbation can make the opposite side of the face of the hand you are using thinner than the other. Now I did that for a period of time (don't know why, i guess it was fun! haha and girlfriend not wanting to have sex yet). Maybe that is the reason, i don't know. It could also be that I tend to sleep on my left side. So I think the combination has made the asymmetry.
So guys, do you think that if I stop the masturbation completely and sleep on my right side for awhile that it will go away and I'll go back to being good looking- in my eyes (cause really how you think about yourself is all that matters. Even if others think positively of you, you can never have that same confidence without truly being confident in yourself)? Please respond! Thanks guys!! :)
Also, does anybody know the symptoms of BDD or have it? And if I had it wouldn't I have had it my whole life, and not after acne or slight face asymmetry?

Hello!
I think the masturbation thing is just a stupid myth to make people stop doing it hhh. I think the symmetry of the face has to do with your teeth or/and the dental work that you receive. Do you wear braces? wore them before? Do you have any teeth/tooth removed from that side? Is your jaw misaligned? do you sleep on this side of your face more than the other one? Do you have a tooth infection? tooth infections can make the cheeks swell. Remember that being good looking is not only about attracting girls but more about feeling good about yourself :)

haha probably..
yeah i've had braces awhile. wouldn't that make your jaw/teeth straighter though? I have also had 4 wisdom teeth pulled so that may have something to do with it, though since it was 2 on both sides maybe not. No infections that I can think of.
It's probably that I sleep and lean on my left side more. Thank you.
And yes I know but there's been like a correlation of the attractiveness of girls into me since ive noticed it. Now only like slightly above average are and that makes me kind of sad. I know that's very very shallow but that's the world we live in. I want to be with an amazingly hot girl with a great personality rather than an okay looking girl with a great personality.
Thanks for the suggestions though. I'll go to my dentist and figure it out :)
