Lip Lift when a Frenectomy has been removed?

December 31, 2017
Asked By:gracie9890 in Los Angeles, CA

There is no real "support" under my upper lip due to a Frenectomy as a child, and I also now (at age 58) have a horizontal line above my upper lip. Am I a candidate for the Lip Lift? or will my upper lip "sink" if pulled up? Also, as you can see from the photo, my lower lip is crooked ( I usually correct it with Juvederm) but can anything else be done?
