Asymmetry after lip lift. Can this be fixed? (Photo)

Magical909608Oct 19, 2023
I had a lip lift a couple of years ago and soon after it healed I noticed that my lips were not even after the procedure. One side is bigger and my mouth also pulls to one side when I talk. I addressed this to my plastic surgeon but he denied that it had anything to do with the surgery, insisting that my lips were always uneven. I know my face and I know this isn’t true. Can this be fixed? Before and after photos included

A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. You would benefit from a lip lift. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

No need to wait in between. you can have two surgeries at the same time or you can have it seperately. no need to wait in between operations. we think liplift and nose surgery is a good combination. its a combination we carry out frequently good luck with you journey and healing

Hello, great question, I see this often …. It appears there has been a lot of cumulative filler. Dissolving this would take more than one session from my experience. Maybe 2, 3 sometimes more depending on the type of filler used. Only then will you have a good idea of what level of...

Hello, A lip lift would help evert the top lip, to create more of the concavity you are describing. HOWEVER, there are other criteria and considerations. First, if you are considering having an oral surgery for your dental occlusion, it is best to do that first. Lack of dental support can indeed...

Hello, I do almost all my lip lifts with local anesthesia and never had anyone describe severe pain. The initial numbing injections can hurt / burn for a couple seconds, but that’s the extent of it. This is very similar to what is done when you go to the dentist, expect you don’t have to wor...
