Lop-sided ??
It's asymmetry.
asymmetry
assymetry or assymetrical means 'lacking in symmetry' so in the same context it could be that, or it could be lopsided, askew, irregular, imbalanced, ill-proportioned, one-sided or even unsymmetric.
Call me pedantic Octavius but it can't be any of them as they're all adjectives and the questioner is looking for a noun :) The true antonym is asymmetry.
What you mean like the first word in my answer????

Opposite of symmetry could be 'disproportion' or 'disharmony'.


What about 'malformation'?


Three to chew over.
