Lip snarls when talking. Can I do anything about this? (Photo)

Question

Hi! I have an issue as far as when I talk one side of my mouth goes up much higher than the other side. I'm on camera often and it's really something I'd like to try to get corrected or at least improve. As you can see when I smile, it's not an issue. Any procedure suggestions or advise would be greatly appreciated! It may have worked for Elvis but it's not working for me.

Hello,
You have hyperactivity of the muscle lifting up the corner of the mouth. This can be corrected with injection of Botox or Jeuveau, which works quicker with onset in 2 days.

I would start with Botox to see how easily you can be corrected. If you stay consistent with Botox, you my find in a few years that you need less or none at all as you have retrained your muscles.
