Hi I was born with big pouty lips but the top is very uneven. Highlighted more dramatically in photos. I can’t use fillers. My body metabolizes fillers and Botox in a couple weeks. What is a permanent solution for this? Would a lip lift be minor surgery? Does it open mouth more for more teeth exposure.
