Hi, I'll have Invisalign and veneers, and would also like to have the hooded, downturned corners of my mouth improved by a corner lip lift, in addition of making my mouth slightly wider. I know that a "normal" lip lift must be done before veneers to achieve the best results, but couldn't find info about how the corner lip lift affects the smile. Attached my pic and a pic of the kind of lips I want to achieve. I don't care about the scar too much btw.

So you’ve got a “neonatal deformity” after a corner lip lift. It can be fixed with a revision corner lip lift in the hands of a qualified surgeon and expert in the area of lip reshaping .

Your photos demonstrate that white areas are actually scars. You should consider injection of a very small amount of Kenalog in the scars to soften and reduce scarring. In person consultation with your surgeon or a board certified plastic surgeon would help. Good luck.
