Asked By:jessie080398 in Melbourne, AU

I'm 21 and have always hated my lips. I don't even know what type of lip lift (or lip surgery in general) would work with mine as I don't want to have "duck" lips from the side and or front. My top lip shape isn't bad when I smile but I dont like my philtrum as it's too long/"saggy". Also my top lip is almost no existant and my philtrum looks 80 years old. I'm really just looking for an answer as to what type of surgery would fix my lips and philtrum shape, cost and details. Thank you in advance :)
