What can I do about my upper lip area? (Photo)

Question

i honestly don’t know where to start… i feel like i have harsh shadows above my flat upper lip & whenever i speak my upper lip doesn’t move much to show some upper teeth. what options do i have for a more feminine face/pout?

You would be a good candidate for a lip lift.  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.

Based on your concerns and photos it looks that lip lift would be procedure to consider. Shortening of the orbicularis oris muscle should be part of lip lift. In person or teleconference consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure is recommended. Good luck
