I recently went to a consultation for a lip lift as my lips are incredibly thin and the distance between my nose and top is a staggering 2.1mm. Unfortunately, the doctor did not recommend the surgery as my teeth do in fact show when my mouth is open and therefore I would be incredibly ‘teethy’ whilst talking and laughing post op. I’m still incredibly sad that I will not have the luscious lips I have craved my whole life. Is there any other procedures that could help me?
