How can I fix my uneven mouth? (Photos)

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin - Winnetka & Chicago. This is a great question. An uneven mouth, where one side appears to droop or sit lower than the other, can stem from various causes—including natural facial asymmetry, prior dental work like braces, muscle imbalance, or even residual effects from fillers. Since you mention it’s been this way for as long as you can remember, it may be primarily anatomical or developmental, though prior interventions like cheek filler or orthodontics could have subtly shifted muscle function or support structures. Correction often involves a combination of neuromodulators like Botox and dermal fillers to achieve better symmetry. Botox can be used to relax overactive muscles on the stronger or higher side of the mouth, subtly allowing the weaker side to "catch up." On the other hand, fillers can be used to provide support and volume to the lower or flatter side, especially if there’s volume loss or soft tissue asymmetry. I hope this helps and best of luck!
