I did a vermillion border lip lift and regret it (Photo)

Asked By:chi345678 in Chicago, Illinois

Hello doctors, I did a vermilion border liplift to reduce my philtrum and it was the biggest mistake of my life. I lost the white border of my lip, and also I have asymmetry. One side is higher and rounded the other side is lower and straight down. This caused my smile to be lower in one side and higher on the other side. Can I do a lip reduction or can I reduce my left side of the vermillion border that’s rounded and lifted to match the right or will this cause more scarring & worst smile?
