Should I get a lip lift?

February 3, 2016
Asked By:KRRT1969 in Los Angeles, California

I really want to get a lip lift but I am not sure if it is right for me. The distance between my nose & mouth measures 1.5cm I have minimal tooth show with my lips parted. I really want to shorten the distance. I would love the opinion of professionals! I do love the shape of my lips I just wish the distance was shorter and my top lip turned upwards more. I also don't like from the side how much further my top lip sticks out.
