My mouth goes to one side. Any suggestions? (photos)

Question

My lips go to one side when i talk or smile.Also when i look into mirror i can see my mouth is 60-70% more on to right side of face.I am 34 years old and i have had this since i was born.I am wanting to know can this be corrected by surgery and how much would it cost. Thanks

James Chan, MD · Answer

Most people have facial assymetry.  Treatment depends on the underlying cause for the assymetry.  If your lip is crooked at rest than it might be the soft tissue or the underlying facial skeleton.  If it is assymetric with movement, it could be the muscle.Some treatments include injectable dermal fillers, possibly botox, and finally surgical correction.I would talk to a board certificed facial plastic surgeon to get professional opinion.
