Surgery for Drooping Mouth?

My mouth droops a little on one side and I have been told by a surgeon I have an asymmetric face. The doctor actually thought I had had an accident.

What is the surgery that can correct this to give symmetry to my face and in particular to stop the side of my mouth drooping?

A: midface lift

Sometimes a midface lift can lift the upper lid and cheek. The surgeon probably thought you had a facial nerve palsy from an accident. The midface lift can give you a good result from this.

Lip Lift Side Effects and Scars

I had a lip lift augmentation 2 years ago and my scars around the (outside) border of my lips (top and bottom) feel hard, stiff, tight and very uncomfortable. They also burn, and my lips are very sensitive from the scars. I hate speaking/talking because it is soo uncomfortable. Is there anything that I can do to make my lips feel soft and settle the pain and sensitivity?  Getting this kind of lip lift was the worse mistake I have have ever made in my life.

A: steroid injections may be helpful

Steroid injections may help to soften the scars. Also sometimes a revision procedure may help to excise the scarred area. You probably need to see your surgeon again.
