Lip Augmentation: Q&A
Ask a QuestionWhat Can I Do About my Top Lip? (Male) (photo)
Does my top lip look normal? If not, what could I do to correct it? I think the way it sticks out may affect my speech, because it is difficult to pronounce "r's", and it may tie into my top lip sticking out. Is it possible that it is affecting my speech? Also, how much would it cost and what would be the recovery time?

Normal Lip Shape Varies

Frontal view(s) of lips required to more thoroughly understand lip aesthetics, and determine whether or...
