Thank you for sharing your photo and your concerns. It’s very understandable to want to address both the scar from your previous lip lift and the length of your philtrum.

Here are a few important considerations:

Scar revision and second lip lift: It is sometimes possible to perform a second lip lift, but it’s technically more challenging than the first one. The skin and tissue have already been altered, so careful planning is needed to avoid tension or additional scarring.

Healing and timing: Since your first procedure was 6 years ago, the tissue has matured, which can make a revision feasible. However, the extent of correction possible depends on the current tissue elasticity and scar characteristics.

Alternative approaches: Sometimes, a combination of minor scar revision plus filler or other minimally invasive treatments can improve appearance without fully repeating the lip lift.

In short, a second lip lift can be possible, but it requires a careful assessment to determine how much the scar can be improved and how safely the philtrum can be shortened. A personalized consultation with a provider experienced in lip lift revisions is key to understanding your options and expected results.
