Hi! I have an issue as far as when I talk one side of my mouth goes up much higher than the other side. I'm on camera often and it's really something I'd like to try to get corrected or at least improve. As you can see when I smile, it's not an issue.

The pink lip (vermilion) and the white lip (skin between pink lip and nose) are the two areas of concern. When the white lip appears long or excessive, it can sometimes be shortened by removal of a portion just below the nose. This is called a lip lift and is usually performed under local...
