Can an upper lip be lifted to fix a dry and drooped upper lip from jaw surgery? (Photos)

Asked By:Nurturing872418 in Frasnes-lez-Gosselies, Région Wallonne, België

I had a cheekbone widening 3 years ago and it made my upper lip change alot. It made my lip sag and portrude forward. My lip is dry all the time and causes some kind of scarring tissue making my lip appear more fat in the middle. My lip hurts when I wake up, shower or eat and even when I don't put an ointment on it for more than 1 hour. Is there any way to fix this issue? Would a facelift help to lift the whole lip up or pull my lip more inwards again? Is it possible to put back again?
