What is wrong with my lips? (Photo)

October 31, 2024
Asked By:Lori_k in Abbeyville, Colorado

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?

Gary M. Horndeski, MD says:

I recommend a chin implant. This will lengthen the width of your jaw and give you more support inferiorly. You may also benefit from a lip reduction. This would be done with an internal incision to pull the lip more posterior. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Jeffrey H. Spiegel, MD says:

I'm so sorry to see this. You appear to have had a vermilion border lip lift, and that is not usually the best choice. I should be able to improve things through revising the way this was done to recreate the vermilion border. You will also need a bit of a lip reduction. There are risks in...
