I have a weird lip shape. How can I correct it and through what procedure?

My lips look kind of scrunched up when I relax my facial muscles. It looks okay when I am smiling but I can't always keep on smiling. It is narrow from corner to corner and asymmetrical compared to the rest of my face. Also I have noticed that the corners of my mouth are dropping and I am only 19. I would like to reduce the size of my lips if possible or at least make it look even. What kind of procedure do you recommend and where can I get them done? BTW I live in Los Angeles, CA.

Lip augmentation can be customized to help increase the proportion of the lips to help suit your face.  Increasing the vertical dimension can help hide overly prominent teeth both with smiling and at rest.

Thank you for the question. It really depends on what filler was used. If it was truly permanent (e.g., silicone) then the treatment for removal is actually a lip reduction. Silicone causes inflammation and granulation tissue in the lips and can't be extracted or dissolved directly.  Fot...

Filler is a great option for the lips. I like Juvederm, as it is very soft and yields a great looking and natural result. Cost can vary depending on the physician and your location. I would recommend seeking the advice of a board certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or facial plastic...
