It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Yes, you can do a small central lip reduction to give you the correct upper lip to lower lip balance.

This scar may need to be surgically removed for the best outcome but fillers and lasers like ablative co2 can help. Fillers maybe able to camouflage for the short term. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.
