Hello.
I am Song Sang-hoon,
Director of Golden Diamant Plastic Surgery (current)
and former Director of Golden View Plastic Surgery.
Identical in features, one twin has symmetrical lip corners, while the other has asymmetrical lip corners. They both laugh simultaneously while watching a comedy show.
Seeing this, their mother asks one of the children:
Are you not enjoying it? Should I change the channel?
Who do you think was asked this question?

Lip corner asymmetry varies slightly from person to person,
but everyone has it to some extent.
This is because a human face cannot be perfectly symmetrical.
However, in cases where it is noticeably severe,
in today's era where first impressions are crucial,
it can become a more significant complex
and even lead to functional problems.
Today, we will discuss improving lip corner asymmetry through lip correction.

The reasons for lip corner asymmetry
can be broadly divided into two categories.
1. Cases caused by differing muscle activity

This category involves the shortening of the lip corner elevator muscles
or lip corner depressor muscles around the mouth,
causing one lip corner to go up or down.
In such cases, effective treatment for lip corner asymmetry can be achieved
by balancing the muscles with Botox, along with muscle stretching.
If lip filler is also used to adjust the volume of the lips,
which may have been deformed due to asymmetry,
it can be even more aesthetically effective.
However, because Botox and fillers dissolve over time, periodic treatments are necessary. Also, since the lips are a highly sensitive area where foreign body sensation can be severe if an excessive amount is injected in the wrong place, it is crucial to receive treatment from a specialist with extensive experience in lip correction.

For a more definitive and semi-permanent correction,
lip corner correction surgery can be performed.
This surgery involves making a tiny triangular incision at the edge of the lip
to weaken the muscles that pull down the lip corners,
while simultaneously repositioning the muscles that move the lip corners.
This surgery can create:
Alleviation of lip corner asymmetry and a natural, smiling impression even when expressionless.
However, the skin around the mouth is very thin,
and it is frequently used immediately after surgery,
which can potentially lead to more prominent scarring
or an unnatural height difference.
Therefore, a skilled lip correction specialist must perform
customized lip surgery that considers individual skin characteristics and facial features.

2. Cases of asymmetry caused by malocclusion of the facial maxilla and mandible
This occurs when the cause of asymmetry lies in hard tissues like bones.
It involves situations where the midline between the eyebrows and the chin does not align,
and the position of the cheekbones also differs.
There may also be malocclusion of the teeth.
Lip corner asymmetry like this
can be corrected and improved with orthognathic surgery.
However, orthognathic surgery is a highly complex procedure that requires consideration of both aesthetic and functional aspects.
Therefore, caution must be exercised
when deciding on the surgery.
