Ever since I was 12 I noticed both of my cheeks are formed differently. This causes my lips to look smaller on one side and larger on the other, as well as my nose. What can I do to fix this?

Answer: Lip augmentation Dear missaelh18,based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a lip augmentation. I typically use Juvederm for my lip sculpting. 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. Most of my patients have results that last at least 6 months if done correctly.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery

Answer: Cheek asymmetry I do see the difference in shape between the two cheeks. The left lip is also shorter than the right but this is a congenital asymmetry. We all have asymmetry to varying degrees. The cheeks can be augmented to make them more symmetrical. The lip can't be shortened but sometimes highlighting the peaks makes them look more symmetric. Hope this helps. Best wishes
