Hi, I’m 32 and I’ve been considering an upper lip lift for some time. I’ve been putting it off as I’m absolutely terrified of disfigurement, a prominent scar, or looking as though I’ve had a cleft lip repair. That said, I’m also self conscious about the length of my philtrum, complete lack of upper tooth show when my lips are parted, and slight upper lip asymmetry. Do you think an Italian lip lift or V to Y could help address these concerns, or would I need a full bullhorn lift? Thanks.
