Lip lift or something to help bring my nose closer to top lip?

Question

The space inbetween my top lip and nose bothers me. I find it too big. Is it? What are my choices if it is I want it like permanently fixed without screwing up the rest of my face. Im under 18 so not MUCh I can do. This along with my wide nose depresses me so bad to the point I just want to crawl in a hole and die.

Thank you for your question.  Based on the photos, I do think a lip lift will help you with your goals.  I would also consider dermal fillers as a first line if you are worried about surgery.  I would make sure that your parents are aware of your concerns and accompany you with on a visit with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Talk to your parents or a trusted adult regarding your feelings.  The lip lift can be done in an office setting, but a parent or guardian would need to sign the surgical consent form.  Best to you!
