Is there any way to hv both sides of my face look semetrical?

Q. I have had to have one side of my upper teeth removed, this has caused this side of my face to collasp and my mouth had lost definition and is drooping to one side, I look like I have had a stroke. Can you offer me any adice is this normal can this be corrected in any way so that both sides of my face are semetrical again.

A. Hi many thanks for your email, when you lose teeth this can have a dramatic effect on the facial features on that area, unfortunately the only way to restore your face to some kind of symmetry would be to replace the missing teeth with either dental implants, bridge work if possible or a denture. hope this is helpful.
