Thank you for your question. Unfortunately without photographs or more extensive narrative as to the cause of your lip incompetence it is difficult to supply definite recommendations and I would recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon in consultation.

Hello Aleyzailazaro,It is important to determine the cause of the incompetent lips to determine the treatment. For example is it related to a neurological problem like Bell's palsy or a stroke?
