Facial asymmetries consist of fluctuating asymmetry, directional asymmetry, and antisymmetry. Measurements in facial asymmetry studies may be inaccurate in the presence of directional asymmetry (DA) as DA have genetic basis. This paper explores the methodology of DA adjustment in facial asymmetry me...
