Is it possible to do lip reduction on one side of the lips only? (photos)

Neat594389Sep 21, 2023
I have more fat on one side of the lips, which makes my lips look uneven(left). Moreover, one corner(left) is dropping down compared to the other. Is it possible to do a corner lip lift one one side of the lip(left) along with a lip reduction for only the left side?

The only reason why I do an upper lip lift specifically, my 3-D upper lip lift, is to shorten the distance between the nose and the upper lip. The other benefits of the upper lip lift are all fringe benefits, such as added upper tooth show, roll out of the vermilion, etc. If your upper lip is...

There is no need for lip lift, your upper lip is normal looking and distance between lip and nose is normal. What you can benefit from, however, is lower lip (possibly upper as well) reduction. In person consultation with a plastic surgeon experienced in this procedure is recommended. Good luck. .
