Correcting uneven lip after injury
I recommend that you see a plastic surgeon for an assessment to find out what can be done to help you. It is likely that a scar revision may be able to improve the appearance of your lip.
Good luck!

Correction of Lip Scar
Lip lacerations, even if they are properly sutured, can result in uneven or prominent scars. These scars often can be significantly improved with a scar revision surgery. I suggest you seek out a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. I believe they will be able to help. Best wishes.

Corrective Surgery to Top Lip
There is a possible non surgical and surgical intervention for this correction, but the surgical correction of the vermilion border of the lips would be the most beneficial.
