Uneven lips. What can I do to correct this? (Photo)

Dear stephhpets,
I perform a lot of lip injections with fillers such as juvederm and it works great. Many times I need to put more in one side than the other to attempt to even out the vermillion border (The red line of the lip). This helps provide more symmetry at times.For patients looking for a more long lasting result, I recommend fat grafting. That is, using your own bodies fat to make your lips naturally look more shapely. The bonus is that the results last many many years.
In general, I avoid using permanent prosthesis because I find that the lips are such dynamic and sensitive structures, the end result is not natural.

Hello, thanks for your question and photos. As you may know, the two sides of the human body are never identical or symmetrical. There is always a difference, as it is in your case. You may have a great option with a Lips Fillers treatment to get volume and repair the asymmetries that bother you. You could have a great result with the Russian lips technique to give anatomical volume enhancing the upper lip and cupid bows. Consult a doctor specializing in injections in your area for a physical exam. Thanks, and good luck!
