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?
