Procedure to Fix Uneven Top Lip Due to Accident?

I busted my top lip open during a football game, and then I had it stitched together. However, 2 years passed and I have an uneven top lip, it has notched upwards, and I want to know what can be done to resolve it. It just really gets me down and I am so self conscious about it.

Thank you

Your lip scar might benefit from an Injectable Filler treatment.

If your lip is "notched upward" after trauma, this may be correctable with an injectable filler treatment. By putting volume in the notched area, you might gain improvement in your appearance. Feel free to post / email me a photo, and I'll be happy to give you my thoughts. I hope this helps, and best regards.

Sounds like the wound contraction may have lifted your upper lip. There is a scar revision technique called the Z-plasty that can lengthen the tissue of the upper lip to lower that particular area that has contracted. I would consult with a head & neck or facial plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Good luck.
