Are my lips sideways/uneven? Is there a way to correct asymmetry and make it fuller to hide the gums? (Photo)

Question

I'm really insecure about my lips especially the top one and more recently I noticed it goes sideways especially on pictures. Is there a way to correct asymmetry as well as make it fuller to hide gums too?

Hello Maryland25! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Shah Facial Plastics. Thank you for your question. Based on your concerns, I recommend treating the area with lip filler to correct the asymmetry. I highly recommend scheduling an in-person consultation in order to better assess your face and discuss an appropriate treatment plan to help achieve your aesthetic goals. Our office phone number is: (312) 944-0117. I hope this helps and best of luck!

Your photographs are inadequate.  It may be possible that you would be a candidate for a lip lift.  A lip lift 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.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Hi, thanks for your answer and pics. It seems you have an asymmetry in your lips. First, remember that the human face is not symmetrical at all. Second, you have several options, from lips augmentation with hyaluronic acid injections, non-permanent but effective to give you natural results, or surgical correction. Please provide a complete pic of your face to better see your concern. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area for an in-person exam. Good luck!
