Lip fillers 4 years ago. I haven't gotten any more. My smile has changed. One side shows more teeth. Can it be fixed? (Photo)

Question

One side always lifted a little more but I feel like my lips on the right sag more . Prob from past fillers . I went too big in 2016 . They botched me and I had to wait a long time to get my natural lips back . I'm almost 50 maybe this is just aging lips as well . The last picture is my smile when I was 30 . Just wondering if I can lift the other side somehow ?

We see more and more patients with history of multiple injections of lip fillers presenting with secondary, acquired deformities. This is usually related to scar formation, displacement of filler, etc. correction of these deformities may include multiple modalities including surgeries. Hope this helps.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.  A lip lift is capable of correcting asymmetry in the position of the lateral lips.  You may benefit from a lip lift.

Best Wishes,
