My lips are naturally very thin and it is worsening with age. A wonderful surgeon said I was not a candidate for a lip lift, (Incision under nose) so I abandoned that idea. But at a consult for a mini facelift recently, another surgeon strongly recommended a lip advancement along the vermilion border. It seems though that this is not a popular or recommended surgery. any advice is appreciated. I have tried and strongly dislike, fillers. Thank you.

I do a LOT of lip surgery and have for many years. You have nice, full lips and so many people would love to have what you have. I am sorry you are not happy with your lips, but, to an expert, you look beautiful.
Chewing predominantly on one side and sleeping on that side might contribute to muscle imbalances but remember, human faces and bodies are not perfectly symmetrical. Minor differences in facial features and body proportions are entirely normal and common.
Concerning your lips, a medialized...
Based on your picture, it looks like you are a good candidate for a medialized corner lip lift, which would be the only way to treat this issue.
Of course, an “in person” consultation is necessary to assess your lips.
I hope this helps,
Best of luck !
