A member asked:

My left eyelid looks lower than my right. when smiling my right side of my mouth goes further back than my left. just started. i'm 38. what's wrong?

Bells palsy?: If you have bell's palsy, you would have trouble smiling on your left side, the wrinkles on your forehead would be less prominent on the left and your mouth may droop on that side. You would have a tough time closing your left eye lid, giving it an asymmetric look. If that's the case, you need to see your primary care doc.
