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

lucydubaiJul 13, 2023
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?

You would be an excellent candidate for a 3D lip lift (an ameliorated version of the traditional lip lift which results in less scarring and a better long lasting outcome), a medialized external corner lip lift (this surgery is as important as a lip lift and not only elevates the corners of the...

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. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
