Does sleeping on one side every night cause permanent facial asymmetry?

Wrinkles / Anti-Aging

I've been wondering whether sleeping on one side every night, with one side of my face pressed against the pillow, can cause wrinkles, facial asymmetry, or changes in skin over time. Is there any scientific evidence for this, or is it mostly a myth? If it does have an effect, are there any ways to reduce it besides sleeping on my back?
