Multiple Options For Lip Rejuvenation

D.J. Verret, MD answers: 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?

I would agree with Dr. Placik about the options for rejuvenation. I would also point out though that some degree of asymmetry is absolutely normal. In most cases, surgery will improve asymmetries but not completely correct them. Patients should weigh if the risk of worsening things is worth the possible reward of improvement.
