I have a crooked mouth, is there a way to fix it?
A patient Staff asked 4 years ago 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!
