The left side of my mouth is lower than the right. It became noticeable in photos a few years ago (I go back and look at pictures before that and while it was slightly lower earlier it wasn't as noticeable). It seems to be getting worse, to the extent that it sometimes looks like the left side of the mouth has collapsed. I've tried chewing more on the left, thinking that maybe the muscles were less developed than on the right, but it hasn't helped. Can anything be done to reverse this? Thanks.

Answer: Improving left mouth droop This is usually improved using dermal fillers. They can be placed in the corner of the lip to support it. Also, Botox can used to relax the muscle that pulls it down, the DAO.

Answer: Left side of mouth drooping, seems to be getting worse? Hi, I have performed many lip augmentation procedures using dermal fillers or lip implants for over 30 years. From the photos, your upper lip is small compared to your lower and appears to be getting thinner which can be expected as we age. Following the beauty principles outlined in my book on face and body beauty, the upper lip should be approximately 75 % the size of the lower lip for the lips to appear balanced. The upper lip can be augmented using a dermal filler or a Permalip implant. Dermal filers and lip implants offer far more reliable volume to augment the lips than permanent fillers or fat injections that are also associated with increased, unwanted, side effects. Hope this helps.
