Lips - help! What are my options? Would a lip lift improve or make the asymmetry worse? (Photo)

Question

I had lip filler 8 years ago in one side & after a late onset inflammatory reaction I have been left with these uneven lips. The filler was manually squeezed out 8 years so I guess this is scar tissue. Looks okay at rest or semi mile but when I smile widely you can see the difference. I feel I can see people looking at it. Ive had no fillers since. I have a long upper lip too. I consulted for a lip lift but the surgeon said it might make the asymmetry worse. What are my options please?

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

It would be possible to treat this issue with a 3D lip lift (an ameliorated version of the traditional lip lift I invented) which allows maximal control over the upper lip and can correct any asymmetry.

Of course, a consultation is required.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
