What can i do to fix my crooked lips/smile/lip corners. (photos)

Question

i was always self conscious about my smile so i decided to get braces to fix my teeth but then after my teeth were straight i am still self conscious about the way my lips look at different angles because they look crooked. i believe i do have a crooked jaw that also gives my lips a different shape. also my lip corners on one side goes down while the other looks normal and that looks even more crooked.

Hi and thank you for sharing your question and pictures here! No face is 100% symmetrical and this is just part of our natural individual beauty. However if the issue bothers you, we can certainly do something to help. The issue with corners of mouth can be addressed with some Botox injections, and that's probably what I recommend you to start. We can also try to do some minor adjustments with fillers, but that needs to be done in small "baby" steps and in a very conservative approach to make sure your natural look is not negatively affected. I hope it helps and good luck!

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. If the subtle asymmetry in your lips troubles you I would recommend careful placement of a small amount of filler to your left upper lip and corner of the mouth.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. From your photos, you appear to be a great candidate for lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Restylane or Juvederm. Fillers are a great way to help add volume and symmetry to the lips and typically results last 6-9 months. As HA fillers are not permanent you can have them dissolved with hyaluronidase if unhappy with the results. I recommend having a consultation with an expert injector to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

Hi,
Thanks for the question.
The issue is very minimal, but since it bothers you... my vote is to combine some Botox with fillers. As Botox (if it is done correctly) can help a lot with the asymmetries during the movement of the face. 
Best of luck :)

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs.  Based on your narrative and photos, you appear to be an excellent candidate for a conservative lip augmentation with a hyaluronic acid based dermal filler to improve symmetry.  Volbella might be an excellent choice for you.  Subtle and natural results can be achieved.  Please be sure to see an expert injector for an in-person consultation to fully discuss your concerns and your goals and expectations in order to determine the best treatment plan.  Hope this helps and best wishes!
