Concerned over facial structure
Hello Doctor,
Can someone's facial structure, symmetry and appearance be changed from an injury in the neck like in neck bone and nerves.
3 days ago in a fight with my brother. He held my head with both hands and pushed downward and I felt pressure at my neck and for 1 second i felt like my neck gonna break.
Right now I don't face any difficulty in moving my neck. Just slight pain when I lift my head straight up
So now I am concerned that it would have changed my facial structure appearance and symetry.
So please answer

No face symmetry is not lost with pressure on neck unless there is underlying fracture…..face asymmetry occurs from mostly facial palsy that occurs due to brain damage
