Too much teeth show for lip lift - what would be the best option to get my top lip to match the bottom?

Witty278813Jan 9, 2023

They suggest lip augmentation from a fat graft taken from behind my ear and a corner lip lift. I’m curious what other doctors thoughts are. What do you think would be the best combination of procedures?

Ask your surgeon what they use, but many surgeons (myself included) use an insurance plan for complications from cosmetic procedures specifically, to help prevent patients from getting stuck with a bill in case something comes up.

Botox injections work by temporarily paralyzing muscles to reduce their activity. In the case of masseter Botox, repeated treatments can lead to muscle atrophy over time, as the muscle is used less frequently and may decrease in size and strength. This can result in the need for less frequent...

Hi, 1 month is too early for a revision. I would wait at least 3 months as by then most of the healing and remodelling would have occurred
