Threads may help you, however, an in-person consultation would be needed to assess the muscles around the lips. Ultrasound can help make the decision. (identify other filler that may have migrated) A good aesthetic practitioner should be able to improve the asymmetry.

These marks may improve with application of Plato's Scar Serum, local wound care, and Melarase creams to avoid hyperpigmentation. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
