How can I fix my slanting lips?

Question

How to fix my slanted lip? I've already had jaw surgery for a tilted jaw but my lip is still asymmetrical after surgery. I also have more fat on one side of my face. I was wondering if I can have procedures done surgically to fix the issue like have fat removal on one side of my cheek and maybe have lip surgery to correct it. I am hoping to have a permanent solution without using injections and fillers.

Based on these photos, reduction of upper, larger lip, would make a nice balance. However, facial asymmetry is normal and acceptable; slight changes may improve balance, using fillers or fat grafts. In person consultation is recommended. Good luck.

Thank you for your question ! I think it is necessary to have fat removed from your cheeks, your lips are quite thick and your face is suitable, I only recommend rhinoplasty to you, the whole volume is large and your skin is thick 
Thank you ! regards

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry you need maxillofacial surgery or implants customized. I suggest seeing an expert to go through all options. Most of my younger clients use fillers to give them shaping especially on the cheeks, jawline, and chin which make the face look more slim and tight; and threads such as PDO or Instalift can build collagen and support the facial shaping and skin looseness over time, slowing down the aging process and given the face a more “snatched” look; and morpheus8 or PiXel8 deep microneedling RF can tighten crepe skin especially on the neck and jawline and is great for long term tightening of the full face, neck and chest; its often used to give the face a slimmer more sculpted look because it tightens the skin and gives lift. an early face lift can be performed as well even in younger clients if they want a different facial shape, maxillofacial surgery with bone breaking or shaving can also be done. For facial slimming a combination of treatments are always needed. Options include: 1. Buccal fat pad removal to reduce fat on the lower face 2. Factite or Renuvion/J Plasma to tighten the lower face, jawline, and chin to reduce fat and give the jawline and neck tightening and shaping. 3. Botox to the masseter to reduce the muscular size of the jaw giving the face an illusion of being more slender 4. Fillers to the jawline, chin, cheeks, temples and brow help to shape the face and make it more angled and defined Always use at home derma rolling (see link to Emerageskin x anteageMD roller plus stem cells/hyaluronic acid ampules) and peels like emeragecosmetics enlighten or aerify that can be used to improve skin quality and tighten the skin while improving wrinkles, pigmentation, acne, and Melasma. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Concerning your lips, you would be better served with a corner lip lift on your right side. About your cheek, we would need a in person exam
