Hi and thank you for sharing your question here! No face is 100% symmetrical and it’s just part of the natural individual beauty, but when the degree of asymmetry reaches a level that is bothering you, it’s time to take action. You posted pictures when smiling, but it might also help to know if there is any major asymmetry when you are not smiling (neutral expression). Obviously any corrective treatments need to account for both state of expression (neutral and smiling). Hyaluronic acid fillers can be used skillfully to reshape the lips. In your case, corners of mouth can also be adjusted by Botox or other treatments. Overall, I think you can achieve good improvements if you would with an experienced physician. I hope it helps and good luck!
