Eye and lip asymmetry - advice? (photos)

October 23, 2021
Asked By:cosmic00 in Los Angeles, CA

Both my eyelid and lip on my right side are asymmetrical from having slept on that side for years. As I've gotten older, it's become more noticeable. Would CO2 on my eyelid and Botox for the lip area correct these asymmetries? Or should I consider ptosis surgery for my eyelid and a lip flip for a more permanent result? I'm currently 38 and I want to avoid major surgeries until it's absolutely necessary. Thank you.
