What to do with microform cleft lip and nose? (photos)

Friendly5303Sep 15, 2019
I have microform cleft lip and I am afraid that having plastic surgery will make it even more obvious because of the scarring. I feel that my nostrils and alar are uneven. I will like to have a more defined nose and higher nose bridge. As for the lips, is it possible to cut an incision within the lip so that the scar is as small as possible and lip augmentation to even out the deformity on the lip?
