Hi! I have thin skin & lost alot of weight in the past. Ive also gotten jaw surgery & braces. My smile lines, philtrum & lip corner has gotten droopier. I tried lip fillers & I really liked it but it started migrating so I was thinking of getting a lip lift instead. What concerns me is that there is loose skin/leftover filler on the sides of my lips. I attached a picture. It really bothers me but I dont know what to do to fix it. Will a lip corner lift help? Thank you so much!
