Is a lip lift the answer to make area above my lip not stand out? (photo)

AnnaannamDec 22, 2021
Hi, I don't like the fact that the area between my upper lip and my nose stands out, it doesn't look normal? What can I do to make it more straight? And would it improve my profile? Is it only lip lift or something else? Thank you

A lip lift will not necessarily give you a more prominent lip tubercle. Filler can be carefully placed to achieve this effect.
