Guest guest Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 I'm new to the group and was wondering what facial asymmetry associated with plagio looks like. My ped referred me to an opthamologist to evaluate some asymmetry in our daughter's eyes. She does have a tendency to turn to the right side and its her right eye. The ped told me that her head flattening was so mild that was almost undetectable. I can mostly tell that her face is asymmetrical when looking in the mirror.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Seeing how our son's reflection looked different in the mirror was one of the first things that really gave us pause as far as what was going on. If your daughter looks habitually to one side, that sounds very definitely like torticollis (my son has it, and it's absolutely the main cause of any flattening in his case). I would immediately get PT, cranialsacral therapy, and chiropractic evaluations if at all possible to start addressing the torticollis. Chiropractic and at-home stretches and repositioning have helped my son a lot, although he's 6 months and there is still some flattening, so we're going to get a follow-up evaluation at Hanger. Good luck. -- > > I'm new to the group and was wondering what facial asymmetry associated with plagio looks like.
