What Can Be Done to Fix my Uneven bottom lip? (photo)

Question

The right side of my lower bottom lip is a little bigger than the left, how would you reduce the difference (non surgically), any lip exercises or anything else that may work?

Stephanie Beidler Teotia, MD · Answer

Most people have a bit of asymmetry in their lips.  However, there are many soft tissue fillers that can be injected into your lips to correct asymmetry.  Some of these fillers include, Juvederm, Juvederm XC, Restylane, Restylane Silk, etc.  NOTE: These fillers are NOT permanent and may only last up to 6 months.  You may be interested in a more permanent correction, such as a Lip Augmentation (with an actual Lip implant).  This would have to be done under general anesthetic and will cost much more, and I would recommend you research a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area that specializes in that before proceeding.  Good Luck!

RealSelfBro,I perform a lot of lip injections and most people have some degree of asymmetry such as what your photo demonstrates.  Sometimes this can be corrected with a little bit of well placed filler such as Juvederm.  It lasts for 6 months to 1 year. Other long term alternatives include fat grafting which carries with it a little more downtime.Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions.I hope this was helpful,Dr. Daniel BarrettPlastic SurgeryBeverly Hills, CA

A volumizing filler like Restylane or Juvederm would work well to correct the asymmetry of the lip.  Duration of effect would be on average 9-12 months.  I don't think any exercises will be helpful.
