Can Anyone Fix my Lips After my Disasterous Lip Lift? (photo)

Unfortunately for me, I don't think that particular photo really does justice to how bad the asymmetry is. It's very obvious that one side of my mouth is lumpy and crooked when I take a photo straight on. I have others, but I guess I was too vain to put the really bad ones up. I do go out to work every day, and I do socialize like normal. I just feel really self-conscious. And I do use bare minerals, but it just won't cover the white scars. It just doesn't adhere. And forget putting lipstick or lip liner on. Same problem. That's the problem with these kind of scars - they're almost glossy so nothing sticks. I've heard about lasers, but I think I'd rather correct the underlying problem and get the shape fixed first, and hopefully the surgeon that does that will be able to correct the scars in some fashion. Thanks for the comments though! Very thoughtful :)

Sjkat, like I said, nobody can recognize you and just put a better picture so the doctor's can make clear recommendations. I just had Este Lauder do a free make[up over at Macy's (first time in my life and wish I had done it before as amazing how they made my lips look so full) but they had this mineral make up that is suppose to not come off if you sweat and lasts all day called: DWlite02 (looks like) in tiny sample with shade Jen that might be something that could help you. I had Dr. Spock ears for a year and then went back to Costa Rica and the doctor fixed it and did more complementary so fortunately worked out for me but just don't give up ...there is also products to fade scars and you just have to research and not give up...good luck and remember that you are who you are on the inside ultimately that is what people will care about in the long run if you know what I mean...I know we get judged first by how we look but if we don't radiate something good from within no one gonna stay no matter how pretty we make ourself so just work on accepting and loving yourself...I say this to myself as I speak to you as I get very upset about these marionette lines around my mouth and often catch a glimpse and just can't stand what I see...Other times, when I am relaxed and have a big smile and happy, i look totally different...so just things to keep in mind as you recover from this trauma and don't think I don't realize how unhappy you must be feeling...just don't let it get the best of you okay...
