Answer: Lip gaps can be permanently fixed with a small soft implant easily.
The lips are uneven but I would definitely try to avoid surgery. It appears that your lips could be corrected with lip fillers nicely. Please consult an expert for this advanced technique. Best, Dr. Green
The smile line (lower vermilion level) can be lowered by either Botox injections or a surgical procedure. Internal V-Y mucosal advancements can be done to lengthen the upper lip at the smile line over the teeth.
It appears that you have a nice shape to your lip but I do believe that you will need more than half of a syringe to get the complete look that you want. Please consult a board certified dermatologist who specializes in lip augmentation and cosmetic injections for the best results. Best, Dr. Green
