Can lip fillers fix the asymmetry in my lips?

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. Filler may be able to improve the corner of the lip but will never be able to fully evert the lip. Hope this helps.

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. Lip filler is an excellent way to improve symmetry in the lips as well as add youthful fullness. This procedure does require a great deal of precision, skill, and artistry to perform correctly, so make sure you choose an injector who has the experience and qualifications to produce the best possible result for you.

While filler will not achieve perfect symmetry, it would be a useful tool for helping to even out the upper lip a bit. There are upper lip surgeries that may help as well, but given your age, the scar would be more likely to show and I would advise against that. Hope that helps!

A lip filler can make you achieve natural and plump-looking lips. It can help to improve the symmetry/appearance of your lips depending on your liking. Visit a trusted doctor to know more about this procedure.

Hi! Your lips are very subtlety asymmetric as are most people’s lips (you just don’t notice others as much as your own). With lip filler and an experienced injector it is possible to help create plump symmetric lips while keeping your beautiful Cupid’s bow looking natural!

Using a lip filler will help to correct the asymmetry caused by your natural lip shape. Sometimes the asymmetry is due to one side having more muscle tone. The increased muscle tone can potentially break down the filler quicker on that side than on the other. You will just need a touch up a little earlier if that is the case in order to keep the symmetry created by the filler.

I have a feeling you’ll be left disappointed trying to correct facial asymmetry using fillers.

It’s better not to inject fillers around the corner of the mouth.

Facial asymmetry it’s completely normal and primarily stems from underlying bone structure. During embryology the human face forms as two separate half‘s that eventually fuse in the middle. This is why the human face is a symmetrical. The two facial sides form independently of each other.

The human mind is accustomed to seeing facial asymmetry as normal and in fact she’s symmetrical face is a strange and less attractive.

I’ve included one reference regarding this topic.

You’ll probably find providers more enthusiasm about this but I question what they’ll actually be able to accomplish.
