How do I correct a downturned smile? (photos)

April 12, 2023
Asked By:osb1998

I've only recently become more aware of how asymmetrical my smile is. One side is downturned and the other is upturned - so naturally 1 side is higher than the other. My top lip also moves in a different direction to my bottom lip. (See photos) I've previously tried Botox in my DAO, which hasn't been super effective. Are there any treatments (surgical/non-surgical) that can correct this?
