Have had surgery to correct bells palsy. Still have an uneven smile.Had bells palsy. Had 50 percent recovery. Got a nerve graft across my face above lip to get movement back on weaker side. One side of my smile shows all my teeth. The other shows only part of my teeth. My smile is not symmetric but thankful for the movement. Is there filler or surgical/non surgical lip lift that would even out my smile? Or filler in cheeks to pull up weaker side? Obviously cannot compromise nerve graft. Any suggestions?
Answer: FILLERS You should start out with 1cc of filler and go from there. You do not want to overdo too much filler in the lips. It also depends on the look you are going for too. You can always add more filler to the lips if needed. Just remember if you are going to do your lips and you do not want to bruise you should not take any aspirins or anything that will thin the blood since brusing can occur.

Answer: Lip/face Asymmetry So sorry you are going through this. Hard to tell from your photo, but I am quite sure something can be done to improve your situation. Fat transfer to your lips or face is one option. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for sound advice. Good Luck!
