Mouth asymmetry

Mouth asymmetry This is an asymmetry between the right and left sides of the lips, or between the upper and lower lips. It may be slight and only visible when smiling, or more pronounced even at rest. It primarily affects the proportions of the lower part of the face, which is why some people decide to lip modelling.

There can be various causes of lip asymmetry. The asymmetry may be congenital, or it may result from facial structure, malocclusion or muscular asymmetry. It may also develop later in life, for example as a result of injury, scarring or previous procedures involving the lips. Asymmetry can affect both the shape of the lips and the position of their corners.

Uneven lips may give the impression of a distortion in facial proportions. In some people, the difference is particularly noticeable when speaking, smiling or making certain facial expressions. In such cases, it is important to determine the cause of the asymmetry before choosing a corrective method.

Correction of asymmetry may involve injection treatments, including the application of hyaluronic acid. The product can be applied topically to balance the proportions of the lips and give them a more harmonious shape. Used for this purpose hyaluronic acid It is a material that is also used in other aesthetic medicine treatments.

In cases of asymmetry related to facial structure, it is also possible to combine lip correction with other methods designed to improve the proportions of the lower face. The scope of the procedure is determined by the doctor on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the patient’s anatomy, the degree of asymmetry and the desired outcome. It is worth bearing in mind that complete symmetry of the lips is not always possible or necessary — the aim of the correction is, above all, to preserve the natural proportions of the face.
