Marzia's 'Facial Asymmetry' | Surgeon Reacts

[@gerarddicairano4974]

Another thing to note: We're used to seeing our own faces in the mirror, so when it's flipped, the asymmetry becomes twice as bad to us as other people see it. Don't fret over it!

Thank you!!:)

yeah you only look flipped in camera:) that's why you always look better in mirrors. so if u feel like u look better in the mirror then that's how other ppl see u

Since the moment I knew about Marzia's existence, I was flabbergasted by how gorgeous she is and became kinda jealous.

As an artist, I can confirm that assymetry is beautiful and a normality. If you try drawing a perfectly symmetrical face it comes out as unnatural, weird and uncanny even

Yeah, when someone uses the mirror tool to draw faces you instantly notice it

[@michelleannor6944]

It's creepy when they show symmetrical version eg Beyonce

[@tomvice]

The asymmetrical study is flawed. The brain detects the weird lighting and this it looks weird. A photoshop copy of the other side does not make a more symmetrical 3d model

[@perperperpen]

But that could also be due to the uncanny-ness of a perfectly symmetrical facial expression. I think if a perfectly symmetrical human did exist, its not like their face would constantly be a mirror image on both sides, because they would have a facial expression. They would just look very beautiful.

[@katie8802]

It’s very comforting when you struggle with facial asymmetry….and a professional in the field says “it’s NORMAL! And more attractive to the brain!” This is what the young girls of this generation need to hear, before they all deform their faces trying to be “PERFECT” by societies standards

[@user-bx4ti6ig3i]

Marzia is drop dead gorgeous. Her asymmetrical facial features are unique and it makes her special because she's not you vogue type beautiful face out there.

[@kingpuppet5881]

I really appreciate how as a facial plastic surgeon you are actually promoting body positivity and self acceptance of ones self rather than doing what so many other surgeons do, pick out imperfections to fix. I have been so self conscious about my nose, side profile. after a the cartilage at the tip was damaged during a karate tournament. As I live in the UK the NHS won't repair it as it's considered cosmetic. For me it both, as I can't breath out my right nostril due to a deviated septum, which the ENT consultant did offer to fix, but not my tip. This video has definitely helped me re think my nose. I am what I am. I would love my old nose back but it's not as bad I think it is. Us humans project way too much negativity onto ourselves. Thanks again for a great video. Love your content. Also think you are beautiful 😁

[@kingpuppet5881]

[@kingpuppet5881]

As a registered nurse, In critical care I really enjoy how you break things down and explain things in detail. Very educational. Makes me consider doing my nurse prescribing course so I can learn about cosmetic practice and provide treatment. I have a fairly good knowledge base of facial anatomy; however I need to learn more though before I even think about becoming an Aesthetic nurse.

[@ahumanaperson]

I’m in the Uk and have had two septorhino’s on the nhs. The second was a revision. It’s very possible to do but you have to fight for it. My story is slightly different, I broke my nose as a child and drs refused to operate as I was too young, then I also had to wait for jaw surgery due to an underbite which they won’t operate until at least 21 (as the bones continue to develop into your mid/late 20’s). I was told there’s no point doing the nose until the jaws were done as the jaw surgery would affect the nasal area. But once I had the jaw surgery I pushed at every followup that I needed the rhino because I couldn’t breathe. Sure I wanted an aesthetic difference (but at that point I hadn’t breathed through my nose for years so I didn’t know what I was missing, I just wanted it to look nicer). Then after the first rhino I ‘got greedy’ since the symmetry hadn’t improved significantly (but by then I could breathe perfectly) so I insisted it didn’t look right. Once they operate and create an aesthetic difference they take on responsibility if you become disillusioned/ ‘traumatised’ by the change. They need you to be happy with the results/ have realistic expectations. The reason I mention this is because it’s something they don’t tell you- getting your septum fixed will often change the ‘cosmetic’ appearance of your nose, it could become bigger or narrower etc. So the surgeon will most often have to make slight aesthetic adjustments, and if they’re nice/ like their job/ have some compassion, they will happily make changes that you politely request (within reason) -like I had a slight ‘hump’ shaved down. At the end of the day it’s being done by a surgeon with aesthetic training alongside reconstructive, who does cosmetic procedures often, they’re not going to walk out of a consult without finding out from you personally what the issue is and whether you’re prepared for the possibility of an aesthetic change, where you can insert “this ___ also bothers me, is there anything that can be done?”. I know it sounds manipulative but there’s no other way to get nhs help without being overly dramatic about your symptoms. Tell your gp, dentist, whoever, and insist on a referral. As someone who hated their nose (it was an ugly useless object) and now can breathe with a closed mouth I cannot stress how amazing it is to actually breathe through your nose, it changes your posture, your fitness, the way you talk, the list goes on. Fight for yourself, good luck.

@@johnhomie609 she had a rhinoplasty to fix her deviated septum which caused her breathing issues, and the fillers were (I believe) for her top lip to balance it out with her lower lip (since her top lip was thinner) cause she had insecurities about it. She's pretty much had no other work done aside from that...and she was always transparent about it in her videos. When she talked about her rhinoplasty, they offered to do work on the shape of her nose but she declined and just fixed the septum. If you look at old photos of her compared to photos now her face looks pretty much the same. The only difference is how she does her make up and her teeth because she had Invisalign

it didn't really showed in the photos she posted but i believe it's mostly because of her nose, she had a nose surgery because it was hard for her to breath, and i believe after that it ended up a bit croked, she made a video about it many years ago but i believe she deleted it. This can only be noticed if you see her from the front but she only takes profile pics. None the less she is a beautiful woman and i hope she makes peace with herself.

[@brydie191]

Love ur ryo pfp :))

[@jmw8403]

Things like that are only what you notice since you are so used to seing your reflection of your face. Other people are used to seeing your real face and would prefer it. So if you are about to send someone a selfie, you should really send them a picture of your face but flipped to the version you don't like. If you send them the "mirror" face, then they would see the face they are not used to, like you do when you see your "real" face. But in reality, even that difference is not that big merely because of the fact that they are not you. They don't see your face all the time on their phones, in mirrors and in reflections like you do. Your brain compensates for all the imperfections and asymmetries, so when you see an image of your face that is different, those imperfections are hugely exaggerated to you. But for other people, it's not a big deal.

I remember that trend, but if I remember correctly it was disproven, because the focal point of the the front camera makes your face look different and that the closest thing to what you actually look like is the mirror. So no need to be insecure friend.

[@lunaproductions13]

Nope, she had a deviated septum fixed. Her nose was already crooked and she specifically asked the surgeon to try and keep her natural nose shape as much as possible which is why it was still crooked after and ultimately after healing the visual changes were pretty minor. There was no nose surgery before this and no trauma. A re-upload of her original video about the surgery is up on youtube.

I hope she can battle her insecurities - especially because with her, there really is no reason to worry. The lenghts she went to "hide" the asymmetry on her face sounded like she had one eye on her cheekbone and the other on her forehead lol I think her insecurities stem from the inside rather than the outside.

Great video Dr. Gary! I have a pretty asymmetrical face myself (more asymmetrical than most) and I never had an insecurity until getting a consultation from a maxillofacial surgeon. He told me that facial symmetry equated to beauty and that he could give be "better" results with double jaw surgery. It sounded horrific so I didn't go through with it, and now I'm so glad I didn't! More doctors and surgeons should aspire to be like you and seek to give advice that's in the patient's best interest, not instill insecurity in hopes of them scheduling a procedure.

[@AppleSofi]

I like you Gary. You're probably the first cosmetic surgeon that has basically said "hey, asymmetry is ok, and this things are fine and normal". (something along those lines). I like how you came across, very empathetic and not trying to destroy someone's looks, like I've seen from every other cosmetic surgeons before (and I've been watching cosmetic reality shows/videos since I was 12 y/o, believe me when i say you're the first one) but instead trying to make them feel good about who they are. I like you. please, don't lose that empathetic trait, it'll set you apart in this career. I'm not from the States, cause otherwise I'd love to have an appointment with you.

[@Peanut_taco_muffin]

I honestly NEVER look at a person and think “wow, their face is asymmetrical”. I just don’t notice it whatsoever. So don’t worry about asymmetry! People probably don’t even see it and if they do, they usually won’t even think it necessarily makes you less attractive anyway. If they do, they’re the abnormal ones.

[@monicacenteno886]

This is a great video. Influencers on social media usually portray their face as perfectly symmetrical so it’s always made me quite insecure. Having people like Mariza present on such platforms is really important and really helps. I loved hearing your thoughts on this. Loved it !

[@MaryamAli-yo9kv]

I think it's beautiful how we can look a little different from different angles. Means people won't get bored of seeing the same thing.. just like our personalities our face has different sides to it each side offering a different insight a different amazing look 💖❣

[@JuanaRanaa]

One of my eye sits way higher than the other to the point that several people in my life have pointed it out spontaneously. The symmetrical face trend on tik tok with the reverse filter has made me even more self conscious about it. When I first tried it, I thought there was a distorting effect on the flipped image and when I came to realize it’s just the way my face looks it made me feel so depressed. Since it comes from my bone structure (my eye sockets are misaligned) I don’t think there’s anything I can even do about it surgically. That being said, I’ve noticed Marzia’s asymmetry from day 1 but it never made me think of her as less beautiful. I’m trying to extend myself the same grace though it can be very difficult.

[@kamaraalya7607]

Yes please extend yourself the same grace!!

THE MARIO BIT KILLED ME

[@nopenope7937]

I love Marzia! It's part of her brand to have that beautiful crooked smile. I made a portrait of her years ago and that was something that's unique to her. I am happy for her to have this revelation for her.

[@amyv.2130]

One of my eyes/eyebrow is higher than the other. I'm self conscious about it. Maybe I'm just too hard on myself and others don't really notice it? Good video Doc!

[@caitlink]

Same my right eyebrow is a bit higher than my left one. I asked my brother about this and he said he didn’t noticed it until I pointed it out. I would say don’t worry about it, because most of the time people don’t even notice it! For example look at Bradley cooper, he has the most asymmetrical face in Hollywood and he is still attractive (same with Paul McCartney)

[@CorHellekin]

Almost everybody's is. Don't worry!

[@InsatiableMonkey]

I used to be bothered by minor issues like poverty, child trafficking, and cancer, but witnessing this extremely attractive girl struggling to come to terms with the extremely attractive side of her face has really put things into perspective.

[@jakeq3530]

Lol savage

[@brosplit]

Such a pick-me attitude. 😂 What a fkn redflag

[@milagrosroman2882]

True, but the thing is she does look different from that side, still beautiful but different from the other side so for her was like wtf because it is just weird for her and for many that have the same thing with their faces. She gorgeous no matter what so we feel she a little silly for bothering about it. 😂

[@lindaandres5810]

It's really humbling honestly.

[@yoonminz]

i cant recommend this more, its so assuring comforting and im sure a lot of people should hear ur words. Thank you so much!

[@purplekermit2162]

There is no asymmetry. This girl is tripppppppppin and has fallen into people’s unreal expectations of what “perfect” is suppose to look like. Smh.

[@psychadelicpotato8580]

I get ya She does have asymmetry. Such things only becomes an Issue when people point it out with a bad intention. Millions are brought down on a day to day basis and insecurities are real. Although, it's hard for people to notice, we can never know what people told her and what went in her young impressionable suggestive mind.

[@xxxxSOSEXYxxxx]

Yeah, I’m not buying it either. People really must have a different made up version of themselves in their heads.

[@psychadelicpotato8580]

@@xxxxSOSEXYxxxx people form wrong images of themselves in their minds if they've experienced ill remarks from someone else especially when self esteem is close to none.

[@soltrice]

@@xxxxSOSEXYxxxx im pretty sure thats what body dysmorphia is

[@imacar3285]

let me tell you, i'm someone who has the same kind of asymmetry as her and i can notice it right away. for me it's like one side of my face is longer(?) from the side and more forward than the other, and so ends up looking diff from the front too. and i didn't notice bc of social media, i was having issues with my retainer and one day realized that my whole face shape was causing it. yes, it is normal and i hope for other people not to worry too much, but it is definitely there.

[@suzikim7770]

I noticed Marzia's asymmetrical features, but I never thought they made her less attractive. In fact I thought her smile was so unique and beautiful! She also made me feel better about my asymmetrical features because I used to tear myself apart whenever I saw pictures of myself because I thought my face was grotesquely asymmetrical. I'm shocked that she would ever be ashamed! She's so pretty!

[@nyeknyek69]

The first time i saw Marzia, i genuinely thought and still think she is one of the most beautiful woman i have ever seen.

[@baizawai]

She used to have a deviated septum. She got it corrected so she could breath better when asleep. I wonder how much of her perception of having a lopsided face came from that.

[@lazyaf1218]

symmetrical or not, this doctor's hella handsome wtf

[@emmacavalier]

I think we all struggle with insecurity in some way. The media makes it worse and you feel like something must be wrong with you. But the truth is, theres nothing wrong with how you look. The most beautiful quality isnt symmetry- its self confidence. If youre accepting with how you look yourself, your life becomes more considerably beautiful in every way. What is your definition of beautiful?

[@drgarylinkov]

Well said.

[@0n_Cloud_9]

Tell that yo the cruel world who critiques everyone looks while they’re trying to accept their flaws. :/

[@jenniferwong4530]

Thank you for sharing your journey wth alopecia. Autoimmune disease can really ruin your day. I have lupus, and it's a journey all right. It is so rare, unfortunately, to find a doctor with such empathy for his patients. I love your channel. And your honesty. Subscribed and liked!

[@drgarylinkov]

Thanks!

[@franz3810]

stay strong!!!

[@LoveYourself-my9nz]

I have asymmetric forehead , eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, cheeks and i have never had felt that i am not beautiful because i have asymmetric face. People give attention to the symmmatric face because it is rare to have naturally symmetric face. Symmetric or asymmetric both are beautiful guys. So don't feel insecure about something which just don't exist. Beauty lies in both:)

[@harryhirsch8176]

Literally everyone has an asymmetrical face.. You're still very beautiful tho.. I have an asymmetrical jaw and hate it sometimes but most people still think I'm beautiful.. Sometimes beauty isn't perfect.. Doesn't have to be..

[@jesse85]

You made me feel a lot better about my asymmetrical eyes and brows, honestly it bothered me for years but hearing it being normal from a plastic surgeon was a wake up call. My face is awesome, I really need to stop picking myself apart like that.

[@violett874]

I never thought about facial symmetry until I had bell's palsy. Thankfully I healed after a month but I think anyone who had it can relate to now being hyperfixated on your facial symmetry - both worried that things didn't fully heal and that we might suddenly get it again.

[@KiteFlyingVespa]

My face is suuuuper asymmetrical and I hate being photographed from certain angles, but I've learned to live with it. Marzia is just one of many examples proving that asymmetry can be beautiful and charming.

[@hagelslag9312]

She owned the asymmetry. It made me sad to hear she was insecure about it because I always felt it made her unique and special. I hope she feels more comfortable now. She is gor-ge-ous!

[@greyLeicester]

Shell own it as soon as she drops the fillers

[@themagicalfox6]

I never even noticed her asymmetrical face, Marzia is a pretty young woman regardless, beauty doesn't have to be symmetrical

[@lyradd]

This gave me a boost. I felt insecure abt how asymmetrical my face was. Thank you. I thought it was unnatural for someone to have asymmetric face. Thank you.

[@chickenthotpie765]

I would have never guessed she’s literally so beautiful 🤯🥺

[@dalaney]

it’s so weird how the side she feels insecure about is if not as much- it’s more beautiful than the other side. she’s gorgeous regardless

[@funsized924]

I couldn't even find Marzia's asymmetry in this video, I'm so confused. She's a solid 10/10, she's the last person needing to be insecure about her face

[@urmom-fu5kt]

Its actually nice to see someone talk about how embarrassing it can feel and all the wild hoops you jump through to hide half your face. I have a weird asymmetricaly angled jaw that I always cover with my hair. I basically have no jawline on one side😬 I just got filler for the first time last week tho and I feel a lot better but its still pretty noticeable that my face has a weird angle going on

[@CamilaSaurus]

This really helped me deal with some facial insecurities. Thank you so much!

[@abcdefgh-fb5ny]

Do any of y’all remember the tiktok trend where people show how symmetric their faces are by flipping the video back and forth? and the ones who always succeeded were very attractive ppl. I knew my face was asymmetrical but that trend made me feel 1000 times worse. thanks for saying that everyone is asymmetrical, doc :)

[@itt3649]

I have every single asymmetry that you mentioned starting 3:34 up to the muscles causing asymmetry in 4:11😂

[@desdes5622]

Thank you for showing all those examples of normal assymetry. I have some assymetry to my face and I've been self-conscious of it before.

[@TheSanraphael]

I always found the asymmetry of Marzias face sympathetic! I love when people have small, very special things about their looks, which makes them just unique and individual. Shes a beautiful woman and such a good artist!

[@NourArt02]

The first time i saw Marzia i instantly noticed the asymmetry in her face, it's very obvious, but then i watched only one video of her and i instantly realized why Felix fell for her .. Marzia is an angel with a heart of gold, her voice, her jokes, the way she treats Felix, Maya, and Edgar. Everything about her is so wholesome.

[@henloworld514]

I love Marcia so much for sharing her story. I have a significantly smaller left jaw, so I can relate to her so much.

[@Carpface]

The way you freaking compared facial procedures to the face pulling game in mario party… I’m freaking dead 💀

[@abitatts]

Thank you for this information. I've always been so embarrassed of my face being so asymmetrical so thank you

[@LaisCordiolli]

Getting this kind of information from a doctor is gold, thank you :)

[@MotherMantiss]

If you see her straight on while she's speaking it's primarily her smile where you can see the asymmetry however, her smile is charming and she's a pretty woman so I never thought of the asymmetry as a negative. It's simply an objective and individual part of her look. But we all know it only takes one or two unkind comments to plant an insidious seed of doubt in our minds.

[@jakemiller1467]

You can see the jawline assymetry at 6:32, honestly, as someone myself who has a pretty high left to right jawline assymetry I ended up getting some jawline fillers just to help balance it. I personally don't care about it being perfectly symetrical, for me it was how obvious the difference was for me. Some people may think that's dumb of me, but frankly, I feel so much better now when a camera is brought out knowing that my jawline wont look weird from one side to the other. FOr her, in this short video clip alone I don't think she has any reason to be bothered by it, but again as you mentioned, we can build up pretty crazy complexes in our heads and form a level of body dismorphia in our own eyes.

[@johnhomie609]

your insight and your careful way of wording this delicate issue is really beautiful. As for Marzia, I don't appreciate her trying to be all "yay accepting myself" while conveniently leaving out her multiple surgeries and fillers. She was and is beautiful, but her post feels fake and like she's fishing for compliments. She hasn't accepted anything, she "fixed" everything she disliked and now she wants to get applauded for seemingly embracing her "natural beauty". She claimed her rhinoplasties were purely functional and no aesthetic change was achieved. That is just not true when you look at her before and after images. I would do it too if I had the money. Just her way of doing this really rubs me the wrong way

[@iuprising1551]

There’s a whole thread talking crap about Marcia whilst I was googling her photos. It’s so shocking that people there are talking bad about her. Can people be anymore insecure?

[@Murkydip]

What a gentle commentary, thank you for that.

[@jandy5258]

I feel her. 🙁 when I look in the mirror I see a symmetrical face but when I look back at videos or pictures I look asymmetrical. And it reminded me of that viral post that states we deem ourselves more attractive than we actually are so it made me feel a bit insecure. Shallow? Sure. Doesn’t make it any less valid. 🥺

[@ToyCircle]

Sigh, same and then there was that trend with the filter that let you see how the world sees you and my assymetry was sooooo obvious to me. Really did a number on my self confidence.

[@BrainError]

She's so beautiful, but it's incredible how society, bad experiences and conditioning (Barbies etc) can make such a big impact. I've had and still have a lot of issues with my looks because of all of the above, but I'm slowly accepting myself more as time goes on. Be kind to each other and yourself

[@Misskittenfish71]

I'm 50 years old and just realized my life long insecurities are within most people, as well. Thank you for this video.

[@velocitygirl8551]

I think she’s so beautiful and it’s so sad that all the opinions that have been mean and cruel because of her visibility… truly touched her and threw her off. She’s a beautiful soul 🖤

[@BabeDollB]

We are our own biggest critics. I've noticed things that are asymmetrical about my face. Like my nose slightly veers off to one side. I hadn't noticed it for a long time and then suddenly one day I did and it really bothered me. But I asked my family and boyfriend and none of them had ever noticed it. These things really aren't that big of a deal. It breaks my heart that beauty standards are so high that things like this... things that no one would even notice are making lovely people hide their faces or get unnecessary surgeries

[@Ruby-xk8kn]

Marzia is jaw droppingly beautiful and a pleasure to look at, any asymmetries add to the charm of her face, this makes me feel more confident about my own asymmetries knowing that her just add to her beauty

[@johthesecondnt8946]

Tbh i never noticed her asymmetrical facial feature, ever. Ever since i followed her like, 5 years ago? She's just so naturally beautiful and gorgeous im envious about her jawline and lips the way she smiles. Felix definitely made her feel so comfortable, being so supportive and caring for her. She's beautiful in any way.

[@user-xc4el9tx1o]

This video hit so close to me because just like Marzia and many others I too am conscious about my right profile of the face. Your advice on this asymmetrical aspect of human anatomy really felt something my ears wanted to hear.

[@TheFakeyCakeMaker]

"silly" and "superficial" I'm glad she understands this because I'm struggling to empathise. Pretty vain to be so concerned about something so small when you literally have a life most people would be glad for 1% of.

[@RuthvenMurgatroyd]

You only have one face. I get it. She seems pretty modest as she doesn't have as much of an online presence as she realistically could have in my opinion.
