I am aware that everyone has some asymmetry to their face, but I am unhappy with the how different the heights of my left and right upper lip are (the top most points, Cupid’s bow area). Is there a way to use fillers to pump up the height of my left lip to more closely match the height of my right lip? Furthermore, what technique would turn out the most natural looking? I feel like most lip fillers are extremely obvious and therefore unnatural/unattractive, and so I’m hesitant to do it at all.
Answer: Lip Augmentation Candidate -- Injectable Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella), Fat Grafting to Lips, NovaThreads for Lift I would highly recommend getting a formal evaluation with and treatment from a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and expert in facial sculpting. Technique is the key to a successful lip augmentation with fillers, so you'll want to see someone meticulous. An experienced physician will be able to determine which filler, how much filler, and which technique will give you the subtle result you're looking for. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Address lip asymmetry with HA fillers What you describe as asymmetry is within the normal range of side to side variation. In fact you have very lovely full lips. However if this bothers you a smidgen of filler in the right upper lip would address. When you choose a doctor be sure to look at other lip augmentations that they have done before. Go with someone who has an eye for a subtlety. I would certainly recommend a thinner hyaluronic acid filler to achieve the result you are looking for

Answer: Lip matching Thank you for your photos. It is definitely possible to raise one side to match the other. For fine tuning such as this, I prefer a thinner hyaluronic acid filler to add volume without altering too much shape. It is best to have an in-office evaluation so the difference can be demonstrated on you. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon
