my upper lip has bothered me ever since my mom commented about my upper lip being "skinny" like my dads. ever since then i've looked at it and noticed that it is quite small and not proportioned well with the lower lip. the sides curl under making it look even smaller and making it seem almost non existant from the side view of my face. i wanted to know what procedure i would need in order to make the curling on the sides go away and add a little volume to the lip itself. thank you!

You have a pretty face and nice skin. Increasing the size of your lips will distract from the angry look you might see once in a while. You can also relax the mentalis muscle in the chin area to give the whole area a more relaxed appearance.Good luck, Dr. ALDO
The most likely cause of a shortening columella after trauma is secondary scar contracture. Scars shrink in other works. Get a formal consultation with a plastic surgeon about ways to slow down this scar shrinkage.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO
Having lumps is common after lip filler. It may be secondary to inflammation versus accumulation of HA filler. It is fine to massage the area. Give it two weeks after the procedure for the inflammation to resolve.
