I have a crooked mouth, is there a way to fix it? (photos)

Question

Looking at older photos, I've had my crooked mouth/smile for at least 10 years (I am 20). When I try to lift the right side of my face, it won't match the left side no matter how hard I try. I assume it likely has something to do with my genetics, since my mother has a similar mouth, but not as drastic as mine. It really makes me self-conscious. Is there a way to fix it so it matches my left side? What are the treatments or procedures and are they expensive? Thank you.

Hi and thank you for your question! While some levels of asymmetry are naturally present in most faces and perfect symmetry is rare, in your case we can make some adjustments in the corner of mouths by some Botox injection and possibly some adjustment with lip filler as well. I hope it helps and good luck!

lip asymmetry is normal likely this is genetic and cannot be changed. you can do fillers, veneers or lip lifting surgery to get more improvement. I would use daily hydration and plumping (see emeragecosmetics lip essentials kit).  everyone can do a little filler when done well really gives nice hydration and plumping.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Asymmetry can come from either your bone structure or muscle imbalances. Botox and fillers can be used to even out your face. You may ask for botox, fillers, and PDO. A combination of all may be attempted to correct the asymmetry. Please contact a qualified provider with extensive experience in these procedures.

Hello. You could try filler. It has to be done by an experienced doctor. Prices vary according to your area and type and amount of filler used.
