Muggum, a iPhone/iPod touch app can show you. The app bisects a photo of a face down the middle then doubles the image letting you see what a person would look like if either side of their face were completely symmetrical. The app has already been used on photos of many celebrities, people who are considered to be attractive, to varying results.
Both are, by general consensus, attractive women but their completely symmetrical faces are not quite what their "imperfect" face is. In my opinion, neither women need the symmetry.
This app is obviously not perfect and is probably highly ineffective due to camera angle, a person's expression, etc., but what I'm trying to say is, I think being perfectly symmetrical is not all it's made out to be. In fact, I think it's impossible. Everybody has something that makes them "imperfect" but I don't think that is a bad thing. If you have a crooked smile or maybe one of your eyes is a tiny bit bigger than the other you shouldn't be self-conscious but I know that not being self-conscious is hard in today's society where beauty is everything.
