Autologous Implant Revision - 2 Failures. Options?

Had Autologous Implant in '95. It "Capsulized". Ligament from wrist was used. 3 yrs later, 2nd PS removed outer edges and sugg'd vermillion advance. Result was very crooked vermillion border and obv scar tissue. This Doc now out of area and on TV so I can't go to him. A 3rd PS attemptd vermillion correction in '05 with about 75% success. Still implant/scar inside lip prevents normal smile. Any suggestions? Am considering evening border out with slight hyaluronic acid injections...
