How can crooked lips be fixed? (Photo)

Question

The left side of my mouth is higher up that the right side. You can't tell when I smile, but when I make any other face you can definitely tell and it makes me very self conscious. How can I fix this? Thanks for your help!

Elliot M. Heller, MD · Answer

You should start out with 1cc of juvederm filler or restylane filler and go from there. You do not want to overdo too much filler in the lips. It also depends on the look you are going for too. You can always add more filler to the lips if needed. Just remember if you are going to do your lips and you do not want to bruise you should not take any aspirins or anything that will thin the blood since brusing can occur. One syringe is typically $550.

Thank you for your question. Candidates for lip augmentation include individuals looking too correct asymmetrical lips. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,

Thanks for the question and pictures.  I have had very good success treating lip asymmetry using combinations of Botox, Fillers, and micro needling.  Other options would be surgical and/or fat grafting.  Be sure to consult with a facial specialist.

Hello,Thank you for your question. Based on what can be seen here, it appears that you may benefit from some lip filler. The filler will help even out the lips, however you may always have a small amount of asymmetry. Asymmetry in the mouth area is extremely common, and almost impossible to correct 100%. Please consult with a local physician to determine the best course of treatment. Good luck!

You would get nice improvement with lip fillers. These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a symmetrical and full lip. PDO Nova threads can also be used to improve shape and also provide lift. Fat or implants are a permanent alternative. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hi There, Fillers can be used to correct such asymmetries. You would need to go to someone with experience as stated before in order for the lip to look normal on animation.

Josh Olson, MD · Answer

Fillers or fat grafting are your best option to improve your asymmetry. Most have asymmetric lips so perfect symmetry is not realistic or necessary but if it bothers you I'd start with juvederm or restylene by a well trained injector. Best of luckJosh Olson MD

Robert M. Tornambe, MD · Answer

tmnewman   Your asymmetry is modest, so correction must be done with great care because your lips are quite attractive when you smile. I recommend correction with a filler like Juvederm Ultra plus by an experienced injector very conservatively because over correction will cause another asymmetry. If you like the result, then you can consider fat transfer for a longer lasting result. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist with lots of experience treating lips. Good luck!

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Dear tmnewman,I typically use Juvederm for my lip sculpting because it lasts long and is good for correction of asymmetry. There are two main focuses of lip injections, adding volume and actually sculpting the shape. Both involve injecting the filler in different areas of the lips and patterns.
I would recommend finding a plastic surgeon to perform you lip injections for the best result. Most of my patients have results that last at least 6 months if done correctly.
