Can I correct the asymmetry of my philtrum? It is not aligned and pulls to the left.

Question

Is there a procedure that can correct this? Thank you.

This is a very interesting question. I am not sure, based on your photos, that you do not have an associated nasal deviation? Repositioning of caudal septum of the nose may be one of the ways to correct this deformity. If not, moving upper portion of the philtrum to the left through a small incision underneath the nose may be a consideration. I do not believe that dynamic correction (which you created by pulling your lips to the right) is going to last long? Interesting problem that requires some study?Talk to an experienced plastic surgeon, possibly someone who does cleft lip repair, about your options. Good luck.
