One Side of My Face Looks Bloated. Should I Chew on the Weaker Side or Not?

I’ve always chewed, slept, and done most things on my right side (I’m right-handed). Now the right side of my face looks more bloated and full, especially around the masseter. The left side looks more defined, with a tighter, more angular appearance.

When I clench lightly on the left, it actually looks better, more defined, not overly bulky. But the right just looks puffy even when relaxed, likely from overuse.

I think I have inward gonions, but my masseter insertions aren’t high or problematic (not the type that gives unnatural fullness). I’m scared that if I chew on the left, I’ll lose the sharper look and end up bloated on both sides.

What should I do?
  • Slightly build up the left to balance both sides?
  • Stop chewing altogether and hope the right shrinks over time?
  • Is the right side bloat reversible?
Any insights or similar experiences would help a lot. I feel stuck.

I get where you’re coming from, but this isn’t really about general body fat. I’m already fairly lean. It’s more about facial asymmetry, likely from years of one-sided chewing and how that’s affected my masseters and overall balance. I’m just trying to understand the structural side better and get real advice, not just general fat loss tips.

Like it’s not six pack but it’s something to at least show the type of leanness I am for you to be able to help a bit better.

I just slept on my other side which was uncomfortable at first but balanced things out a little after a while
 
So there isn't anything you can do other then stop chewing on that side that is "bloated" these are the massater muscle being overdeveloped causing bloat mark as solution pls bhai:feelswah:

New to this but I recommend watching diet make sure your sodium intake isn't too high and try sleeping on your back and chew with both size don't know if this is cope but would never hurt to try idk
