I have the same issue where my upper lip protrudes much more than the person pictured here. I was teased as having a "duck lip" as a kid and at 50, it still bothers me today. My boys, 15 and 18 also inherited their father's lips. Is there a doctor(s) in the Bay Area, (CA), that you could recommend for a consult?
