How to fix asymmetrical upper lip? (Photo)

Question

I have a really big insecurity about my top lip being asymmetrical so when I take pictures on my phone and it’s inverted, it makes me look really lopsided so if a licensed professional is able to help me figure out a solution that would be great.

How to fix asymmetrical upper lip?
IMO   your lower lip is too full and everted compared to the upper. 
i would consider correcting both for  a more balanced appearance
Lip lifts are minor surgical procedures that actually shorten the distance between the nose and upper lip and allow more of your central upper teeth to show both at rest and when you smile. This has sometimes been called the bullhorn procedure because of the shape. The incision at the base of the nose, just within the nostrils, tucks the muscle and shortens the skin providing a youthful upper lip in less than an hour under local anaesthetic

Another method of lip lifting is an excision at the white line or top edge of the lip. This is useful for patients with significant lip lines and lipstick bleed. It will increase the red part of the lip. Filler can be added to make the lip fuller and rounder.

Thank you for your pictures. There are two ways to go about this. You can have reduction in the full part of your upper lip to make your entire upper lip more symmetric. The second way to approach this would be to fill the dinner portion of the upper lip to match the thicker portion either with filler switches Jupiter, which is temporary or with fact overtime.
Best wishes!

A lip implant placed under local would make a big improvement in making the upper lip look more symmetrical.  cost is roughly $2500.
