My right side is entirely different from the left side of my body. The muscle growth, the shape of it. Even my senses vary to some extent. I've been in bodybuilding for many years now but I do not think it it'd be right to lay the blame for muscle imbalance on it. As i've always had good posture and proper training. The difference is most visible in my jawline. It looks so weird! Can anything be done which does not involve surgery?

Hye. Muscular imbalances are in fact an issue that some people deal with as they progress through their training. In certain situations this can be due to participation in a particular sport where one side of the body is favored over the other and in other cases, it could be an occupational issue where you are performing one type of action over and over again and because of this you find yourself getting stronger on one side than the other. Usually the strength difference between sides will be what is most noticeable, however in other cases it can be actual size differences that are seen. Before coming to the final conclusion that you are actually larger on one side than the other though, be sure you do ask an outsider's opinion. It can be quite astounding what we think we see in the mirror and what others notice, so just be sure that the difference is what you believe it to be. If in fact you are stronger on one side than the other or you're having trouble getting into a fitted shirt properly due to the size difference, there are a few things you should do with your training to remedy the situation. As for jawline you can do specific facial exercises to tone them so they appear better. Also like I mentioned observe if there is some habit which is causing the difference in your jaw line.
