3.5 years ago, I had a brow/cheek lift that resulted in nerve & muscle damage. Left side of upper lip is numb and appears to have muscle atrophy, causing it to appear longer vertically than the right side. (I also have excess sweating above it, indicative of nerve damage.) Although filler in the right side helps the asymmetry somewhat, I hope to restore my smile further and am seeking advice on how to do so. In the "current smile" photo, there is filler in the right side. Thank you very much!
