My right side of my lip is lower and my left side is higher.. is there a way that can fix this? I already had braces and I was told its not my ortho issue.

It is difficult to see any significance asymmetry from this photo. An in-person or even virtual online consultation would be worthwhile. There are many approaches to correcting lip asymmetries...from fillers to surgery. However, one must always consider the risk/benefit and costs vs. the degree of deformity that is being considered.

Thank you for your photo. It is best to have an in-office evaluation to measure and determine the best treatment plan. It is likely that a small injection of botox can help improve your symmetry. You may also benefit from fillers as well to balance the left and right side of your lips. Hope this helps!
