Right side - downturned mouth corner. How can I lift this so it matches my left side? For static and dynamic symmetry

Easygoing231206Jan 19, 2024
I would like to know all possible solutions (preferably long term permanent solutions) to fix my right mouth corner. My right mouth corner is turned downwards and isn't in line with my left mouth corner which sits higher on my face - both in static and dynamic positions. I attached pictures from before any surgery to my face (pics with hair tied back ) & pics from now (after undergoing Double jaw surgery in October 2023 and buccal fat removal in 2021).
