Expert reveals the meaning behind fine lines and wrinkles Advertisement No one is born with a perfectly symmetrical face, of course, but luckily she says the risk of ending up frighteningly lopsided are low, as it is 'unlikely to have a significant impact on the symmetry of the eyes and lips'.

And while side sleeping is the most common position, those of us who sleep on our stomachs are apparently in for an even nastier surprise. Like all of the practitioners we spoke to, she said she sees a lot of clients complaining about their faces being asymmetrical. But 'most of the time they don't know this is linked to their sleep. They'll usually discuss sagging skin on one side, or more noticeable wrinkles on one side, or in some cases uneven lips which they'd like corrected with filler and this is when I'll ask what side they sleep on.
'Start by using a thinner pillow to reduce the strain on your neck and sleep on your side with a supportive pillow,' she advises.
