Would lip fillers help in improving the lip shape? Is there lip reshapement surgery that will accentuate a cupids bow? (photos)

Question

In September, my dog bit my upper lip. I had an amazing plastic surgeon operate on me. But I have completely lost my Cupids bow. On the left side of my upper lip, it's lower and more taught because of pulling the sides together to close the wound and I want to know how to correct it. There's definitely scar tissue inside the upper lip that I have been massaging to help but as the swelling went down the shape did not change. I'm heartbroken.

Lips are tough as the full results are not apparent for a few weeks after the surgery or in some cases it might take even longer. I do revisions for lip scars. u can see some pics on my profile on RealSelf. there is a surgery that can restore the cupid's bow. I have to see where your scar is from the bite and the surgery that was performed in the past. Im in NYC. not sure if you can travel for a consult. alternatively I can do a FaceTime and we can discuss if there is a way your lips can be restored.
