What kind of procedures could help balance my face and get my lips looking more natural? (Photo)

I do believe that lighting and lens distortion is making this look worse than it actually is but there still is a difference between my left side of the face and my right, along with my lips looking this way.

I do a LOT of lip surgery and have for many years. You have nice, full lips and so many people would love to have what you have. I am sorry you are not happy with your lips, but, to an expert, you look beautiful.

Chewing predominantly on one side and sleeping on that side might contribute to muscle imbalances but remember, human faces and bodies are not perfectly symmetrical. Minor differences in facial features and body proportions are entirely normal and common. Concerning your lips, a medialized...
