Is Botox or Filler Better for Correcting Lip Asymmetry?

Rayel
I have a genetic condition the has resulted in one side of my face growing shorter than the other. I've had jaw realignment, which has drastically improved things, but I still have asymmetry in my lips that bothers me. I had juvederm 6 months ago, and while it plumped them, one side still appeared to droop. I've also had fat transfe, but the results didn't last. Can botox correct this? Is it better for asymmetries than fillers?
