Can I use Botox on the left side to make my smile more symmetrical? (Photo)

Question

I did try filler but it didn’t do much.

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. While Botox can be used to treat facial asymmetry, you must also understand that facial asymmetries are normal and common. We all have it, and any changes made on areas with only a small degree of asymmetry may only make it more pronounced. Your smile looks very natural, but if you are unhappy with it, I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon who can evaluate your face (an asymmetrical smile may be a dental issue too), recommend the best treatment options, and ensure the best possible outcome.

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Botox can be used to treat asymmetry.  However it is important to remember that we are all asymmetrical to some degree and your smile looks very natural.  There is a risk when using Botox that if overcorrected it could make the asymmetry worse.  I encourage you to visit with an experienced injector about your goals for treatment.

Douglas Taranow, DO, FACOS · Answer

Botox is a very good treatment for facial asymmetries.  Your smile is only minimally symmetrical so an in office evaluation would be necessary.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

Not a single individual on our planet earth has a symmetric smile. Any intervention using Botox leads to more temporary disfigurement. There is nothing wrong with your smile. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery
