A member asked:

When im not smiling and just casual the corners of my left side of mouth is regular but my right side is slanted down. do you know why this is?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely a palsy : Question. Does the left eye close as firmly as the right ? Can you wink with both eyes equally ? If you open your lips to see all your teeth is it equal both sides ? If not, this suggests a Bell's palsy where a branch of the nerve supplying your facial muscles has become inflamed/functions poorly. You should see your doc for evaluation & treatment.
