Answer: Crooked smile A crooked smile can often be successfully treated with Botox. Filler can also be used to help. I'd recommend seeing a very experienced injector since these muscles are not commonly treated with Botox and the injector will need to have a very thorough understanding of the anatomy.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Plastic SpecialistQuintessa

Answer: Lip Asymmetry Your asymmetry is only apparent when you smile, so correction must be done with great care because your lips are quite attractive when in repose. I recommend correction with a filler like Juvederm Ultra plus by an experienced injector very conservatively because over correction will cause another asymmetry. If you like the result, then you can consider fat transfer for a longer lasting result. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist with lots of experience treating lips. Good luck!

Answer: We notice our own asymmetries more than others do! My lips are asymmetric too! It bothers me, but no one else sees it unless I point it out! Funny how hard we are on ourselves.So, I get fillers to my lips and it makes me feel 100% better about my smile. So, the answer is a resounding YES. Fillers can be placed along the vermillion border to improve symmetry and you also need a little volume in your upper lip. Please consult an experienced injector who will not over-fill you.
