You have 2 choices: make the right side smaller or augment the small left side.A lip reduction looks like the best alternative. It is hard to be exact to match the other side, but there would a significant improvement. Too augment the small left lip an injectable filler such as Vobella made by Allergan would last about 1 year before another session would be needed.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

You have a traumatic double lip deformity of the upper lip. That is due to an excessive mucosal roll caused by the initial injury. That can be removed by a horizontal mucosal excision to get back to a single upper lip appearance.
