What is wrong with my lips? (Photo)

Question

I've noticed that my upper lip is slightly towards right especially in photos could it be due to lip symmetry or my jaw or alignment of teeth? A dentist said my lower teeth shape is towards right due to chowing on that side during development but alignment is good. So Whome I should I consult? Should I consult orthodontis,cosmetic dentist, or a plastic surgeon to explore my options?

It's likely a combination of both - some of the tilting is due to the teeth and then some is just due to how your muscles work. People often have asymmetric oral commissures (corners of mouth) in terms of pointing up/neutral/down. There's not much to do to fix it.
