Lip lift? What can I do about my super narrow lopsided smile? (photos)

Question

I have a very narrow and lopsided smile. My face also suffers from being asymmetrical as well. But my smile is very narrow my top lift isn’t able to lift high enough to where I can show my top row of teeth. I also have had braces already to correct my teeth but it has done nothing for my smile. I want to know what procedure is best suitable for giving a complete smile makeover so I can be more confident and not look crazy when I do cause I haven’t been able to and show off my new improved teeth.

Hello Gorgeous126292
A lip lift will allow your central teeth to be more visible
Botox  to the right lower lip will  lower the corner to make your smail more even.
The upper lip can also have a small reduction   The lower lip should always be fuller

Lip lifts are minor surgical procedures that actually shorten the distance between the nose and upper lip and allow more of your central upper teeth to show both at rest and when you smile. This has sometimes been called the bullhorn procedure because of the shape. The incision at the base of the nose, just within the nostrils, tucks the muscle and shortens the skin providing a youthful upper lip in less than an hour under local anesthetic

Another method of lip lifting is an excision at the white line or top edge of the lip. This is useful for patients with significant lip lines and lipstick bleed. It will increase the red part of the lip. Filler can be added to make the lip fuller and rounder.

A third surgical treatment uses small incision inside the lip to advance the red part of the lips forward and out to add volume. Lastly a small excision can be performed at the corner of the mouth to raise this part of the lip.

all of this can be done in the office with local if that works for you
