What's the best treatment for my underbite? I don't want any major surgery, just perhaps filler to even out the asymmetry?

Question

My top lip is in need of some kind of filler or plumping as it is thinner on one side of my profile. As you can see in the photos one side is fine wit minimal underbite, the other is very different. I don't want any jaw reconstruction or major surgery. Thanks!

jesskate83.  I understand your concern.  I recommend conservative lip augmentation with Hyaluronic Acid,  like Juvederm Ultra plus. Another option is fat transfer which is more permanent.  It may help camouflage your upper lip region.  Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon in your area, Good Luck!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

You would get a nice improvement with lip fillers. These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a full and symmetrical lip. Nova threads can be used to improve lift and shape. Implants or fat are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert to go over your desired results. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question jesskate.  Your perceptions are correct with regard to your lips.  I assume you have been evaluated for jaw surgery based on your statement.  Using lip filler(of any type) is a great way to camouflage the profile differences.  This doesn't address the problem directly but will camouflage it by adding balance to your facial profile.  It would be best for a board certified plastic surgeon familiar with your jaw condition to provide the service.  
Best of luck.

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photographs.  Based on your narrative and photos, you may be a good candidate for lip augmentation with a hyaluronic acid based dermal filler such as Juvederm.  Beautiful and natural results can be achieved.  Please be sure to see an expert for an in-person consultation to fully discuss your goals and expectations in order to determine the best treatment plan.  Hope this helps and best wishes!
