Lip lift was 18 months ago. I am self-conscious about the end results. Scar under right nostril is lower then the left . Far more noticeable. That same nostril lifts higher than before, the tip of the nose veers to the left and the cupids bow is lower. All in small amounts, but combined its noticeable and one side looks different from the other. I asked my doctor if he would fix it and he said it could ruin the look. I think the look now is crooked and not sure how it would 'ruin' it. But I need opinions. Right now, this is a huge regret for me. I'd like to improve upon it if possible.
