Who could do a lip lift?

May 1, 2016
Asked By:batgirl666 in Md

I went for a consultation for a lip lift and the doctor told me he would only be able to do 2mm. He said my gums would show too much when I smile if he took anymore than that. I really want the space between my nose and upper lip to be significantly less, is that possible without greatly changing my smile? Am I being unreasonable? I will have to travel a lot farther to see anyone else because not many doctors around here do lip lifts at all. Thank you
