How to avoid the joker mouth? Is it random or can it be prevented?

I am scheduling my face lift in a few weeks and my big concern is avoiding the joker smirk. I see celebrities that have it as well as regular people. Four of my friends have had face lifts by the same board certified plastic surgeon and three look amazing while one has a disturbing joker grin. Is there a type of face that is more prone to ending up with this result? Is there away this can be avoided?
