Facial features that are not perfectly mirrored on both sides are referred to as asymmetrical. Everybody has a degree of facial asymmetry, yet sometimes it is more noticeable and can cause the sufferer embarrassment.
Asymmetry can be caused by a variety of factors such as genes, ageing and medical conditions. Uneven lips may have been present from birth, the result of a condition such as Lyme disease, or due to weak facial muscles. The asymmetry may become more apparent when a person smiles, laughs or speaks.
Asymmetrical lips do not pose any health risks, yet many people seek to even out their lips with cosmetic treatments. Professional advice should be taken before deciding on the type of procedure.
We can provide treatment for asymmetrical lips here at Harpenden Skin Clinic.
If you relate to this condition but still feel unsure, at Harpenden Skin Clinic we are always here to help and advise patients on the best possible treatment journey performed by experienced clinicians.
