What can I do to minimize the appearance of a 6 month old lip lift scar? (photo)

December 7, 2022
Asked By:Camilla22 in Fore Store, Virginia

Hi, I had a lip lift done about 6 months ago and I am concerned for the scar that is under my nose. It still turns red at times and is visible. I was wondering if there are any treatments to start on the scar now that its healed. I would want to avoid another procedure. Is there something that can help reduce it?

How can I improve the aspect of both my upper and lower lips? (photos)
Gary M. Horndeski, MD says:

In your photographs, you can see you nose is asymmetrical. You would benefit from a rhinoplasty at the same time of an upper lip lift. I would not be concerned about the width of your nose, that is not going to be a problem. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose...
