Which procedure can help correct asymmetrical upper lip? 31 y/o (photos)

Question

The right half of my upper lip has appeared slightly fuller and noticeably higher than the left half for at least ten years (I’m 31 now). Even when smiling, the right half is much more elevated. Is there a way to reposition the left half to match the right half, both when smiling and not smiling?

Ira Shapira, DDS · Answer

The lip is due to less tooth and bone support on the left vs right side.  Both sides have Dark Buccal Corridors or the dark space between the teeth and cheek when you smile.  This is usually due to a narrow maxilla.

When you watch shows like CSI where they find a skull and do facial reconstruction they look at the hard tissue support that supports face and facial muscles.

Google:  "Shrinking Jaws Stanford"  This is a result of Epigenetic changes that began about 400 years ago due to environmental changes and lifestyle changes.

The DNA Appliance is the best way, in my opinion to expand the maxilla non-surgically.

It is also possible to do MARPE or SARPE procedures.
