How to fix asymmetrical drooping nostril after botched lip lift? (Photo)

October 7, 2022
Asked By:cosmeticinjustice in Los Angeles, CA

I had a terrible lip lift. In addition to deformed lips, he took the incision all the way around one nostril and not the other. He lifted the side that was already higher pre-op EXTRA high. He promised me zero nasal distortion, saying that only "bad doctors" have that result (disgusting red flag). Please let me know how this can be fixed? I am emotionally wrecked (the lips are even more obviously bad but separate issue).
