Why Is One Of My Baby S Cheek Larger Than Other?
When Hanna was born she developed a flat head on one side and one of her cheeks was larger than other. We went to a head shape specialist and were told that she will grow out of it. But she s one years old now and the cheek is still bigger than other. Why?

thanks for your question. as per your description she probably had mild plagiocephaly.
well what is the status of head shape now. is it normalised? if yes then we may buy some time for cheek. if no then kindly visit pediatric surgeon as child might require imaging.
