Now raise your eyebrows and go ahead and puff up your cheeks, and I notice they’re equal bilaterally. And now I want you to pucker your lips, very tight pucker. All of your expressions are bilaterally symmetrical. EAR Inspect outer ear for skin lesions and symmetry I’m will inspect your ears for any nodules or any skin lesions.
