I'll chime in on an almost dead thread. I find asymmetry of expression most important in adding realism and uniqueness. I'm noticing peoples smiles so much these days. Sometimes a crooked smile really identifies certain people and can be amazingly endearing or attractive. By the same token certain off balance frowns or angry expressions can add more emphasis to an emotion. Look at Harrison Ford or Sly Stallone. The asymmetry of their smiles define them. I've been spending a lot of time trying to capture those kind of nuances in my characters without it seeming forced. I'm getting there slowly.
