I look as though I am smirking all of the time. How to fix upper lip asymmetry? (Photo)

You would benefit from an eccentric lip lift. This does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. This takes 1 hour to perform under local anesthesia and costs $4,000.

Your "smirking" expression is mainly a function of your inter-labial commissure shape (a frown), rather than asymmetry. Correcting that usually involves both upper and lower lip changes. Every patient and situation individualized, a skilled experienced plastic surgeon with compassion and excellent aesthetic sense who will work with you on it is recommended.

You have to live with it and accept your face is asymmetrical, like happens to all of us humans.

However, your lips are subject to some enhancements I recommend:
-corner lip lift, pennant lift, etc, to create better looking corners of the mouth
-a conservative (small) autologous lip augmentation, without injected fillers, only your own collagen taken from the dermal layer of the skin (donor site a previous scar or the groin)

Thank you for sharing the photo. Upper lip asymmetry—especially when one side lifts higher than the other—can create a persistent smirking expression and may be due to muscle imbalance, volume loss, or anatomical variation. Based on your presentation, here are the most effective physician-guided approaches to improve this condition:
