Lip Shorter On One Side, What To Do? (photo)

ephemeralliveJun 15, 2013
Hello, about 5-6 years ago my dentist pointed out to me that my lip is shorter on the right side. Since then, I've looked through baby photos but they all showed normal symmetrical lips. I think this asymmetry only began to develop as I grew older. It's clearer if you take a look at the photo(it is my right and your left in photos). What can I do for this? I notice that my midline is off by 1 to 2mm for the bottom set of teeth. Please help! I don't think a midline correction can fix this.

Although it would be unusual to have an allergic reaction to filler three months after the procedure, it is not impossible.  A granuloma is a delayed reaction to any foreign substance in your body and can happen anywhere from 1 week to 1 year after an injectable procedure.  That being...

Thank you for your question about fillers and your upper lip. It sounds as though your orthognathic surgery was only on your mandible (lower jaw). Your photos suggest an upward rotation of the maxilla as well. This could cause your open mouth breathing and mouth...
