I was told by another surgeon that cutting too much in the center has pulled my upper lip without the corners lifting with it. Am I candidate for lip lift revision or corner lip lift?

Answer: Corner Lip Lift

You would be an excellent candidate for a 3D upper lip lift (an enhanced version of the traditional lip lift), as well as a medialized corner lip lift (the only procedure capable of lifting the sides of your upper lip).

Best of luck!"
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. You would be a good candidate for a lip lift.
