What can be done to make lips symmetrical? (Photos)

October 14, 2023
Asked By:omeletdufromage in Homestead, Florida

I got into a fight 8 years back that busted my lip and it ended up getting a nasty staph infection that eventually cleared up, but left me with one side of my lip bigger than the other. There is some scar tissue embedded in that I can feel when I lightly bite into the inside of my lip but otherwise can't be seen superficially. Please help!
