As you can see the right side of my smile pulls differently than the left side. I've read that it is a muscle thing and Botox would probably work. Is that the best option?

Answer: What is the best treatment to fix a crooked smile? How many units would it take and about how much would it cost? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. You have a very subtle asymmetry in your upper lip that is most likely due to differing strengths of muscle activity between your right and left side. Botox would likely overcorrect the problem causing greater asymmetry, especially when smiling. A small amount of dermal filler to the upper right lip should help lower its border while placement to the upper portion of your upper left would further help improve your symmetry. Hope this helps.
