Answer: Asymmetry Asymmetry is the norm and not the exception. Asymmetry is beautiful and in the recent literature we are learning that it is more attractive to have asymmetries and that when you mirror image a perfectly symmetric face most people find it disturbing to the eye. Embrace your asymmetry and know that you are beautiful.

Answer: Lip Lift (corner lift) Good day! Ask your doctor about corner lift that focuses on the outer edge of the upper lip to the corner. This procedure is used to raise the corner of the mouth and improves the look of despair. The small incision is closed with dissolving sutures and can be covered with make up within the week.This is performed in the office under a local anaesthetic in less than an hour. It is best to find a board-certified plastic surgeon that has extensive experience with your case and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Answer: Surgery for Drooping Mouth? Thank you for your question. The Lip Lift procedure is performed to accentuate the size and/or shape of the upper lip by removing skin from the region just underneath the nose. As the distance is decreased between the nose and the lip, the red lip is 'lifted'. In appropriate individuals, shortening this distance may impart or restore a more favorable balance to lips and face.

Answer: Droopy Mouth The procedure that best treats drooping at the corner of the mouth is a corner lip lift. In very early, minimal instances, botox can be used to paralyze the corner depressors of the mouth to help elevate this area. However, a facelift, cheek lift or fillers will have no significant effect.
