Would a lip lift address asymmetrical droopiness when smiling? What are my options? (photo)

October 3, 2022
Asked By:CAR09 in Florida

When I smile, my upper and lower lip on my left side droop quite prominently, making me quite self-conscious of my smile. My upper and lower lip are relatively symmetrical when my face is in a neutral position, but not so much when I smile. I intend on getting a lip lift before the end of the year, but not sure if that would actually correct anything. Looking for any advice to help, both injectables or procedures.
