Why are my lips slanted/crooked? Is there anything I can do to fix it? (Photos)

Question

Robert M. Tornambe, MD · Answer

bri1 102. I appreciate your concern but your asymmetry may be related to your braces.  Your asymmetry is only apparent when you smile, so correction must be done with great care because your lips are quite attractive when in repose. 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!

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  Some lip and facial asymmetry is the norm rather than the exception and I would not recommend much treatment for you based on the fact that you have very symmetrical and full lips when in repose.  When you smile it appears that one side of your mouth "pulls"  a bit stronger than the other and attempts to correct this would not only be unlikely to work but also change your resting lip position.

Dear Bri1102,it is hard to tell without an examination. Generally speaking, dermal fillers and Botox can be used to address crooked lips. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs.  Minor facial asymmetries are quite common.  Botox and fillers can be used to improve symmetry and restore balance.  Sometimes no treatment is recommended.  Please be sure to see an expert for an in-person consultation to fully discuss your concerns and your goals and expectations in order to determine the best treatment plan.  Hope this helps and best wishes!

Thank you for your question and pictures. First, it is completely normal to have some asymmetry of the face. Dermal fillers and Botox can be used to improve symmetry. I recommend seeing an expert in your area for a proper consultation and treatment plan. All the best, Dr. Michon
