Lip scar tissue improvement - what options are available? (Photo)

January 6, 2023
Asked By:LKDV in Armadale, Victoria, Australia

I have an old lip injury from sport (more than 25 years old) which has causes a lip scar on the left of my upper lip. Naturally this mwans that my lips are now assymetrical and a crooked smile. While not particularly bothersome, I've now decided that I would like to improve it. What are the options available? perhaps lip filler to improve the assymetry or a minor surgical procedure? Thank you

Jason Emer, MD says:

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
