Asymmetrical lips from a serious injury - how can this be fixed? (Photos)

Question

Seven years ago, I suffered a serious injury to my lip that required emergency reconstructive surgery. The doctor did great but i can see the unevenness. Ive been looking for doctors to fix it for years but im not sure where to look, and exactly what i should ask for . On the left side of my upper lip, there is a little more skin there than the other side. I attached a before and after photo to tell the difference.

This should be doable with an in office treatment. Either a bit of fat or tissue can be added, or some skin can be excised, or both. Also we could consider a "v to y" advancement.  Again, all are office procedures under local anesthesia
