Dead lip and much less tooth show while smiling AFTER lip lift? (photo)

To address the issue of reduced lip movement and less tooth show after a lip lift, consider the following options:

Physical Therapy and Exercises: Engaging in facial exercises may help improve muscle function and mobility in the lip area. A specialist in facial physical therapy can guide you through exercises tailored to your needs.

Consultation with a Plastic Surgeon: A detailed evaluation by a plastic surgeon experienced in lip procedures can help determine if there is a structural issue that can be corrected surgically. They may suggest a revision surgery to adjust the tension or positioning of the lip.

Dermal Fillers: Strategic use of fillers can sometimes enhance lip volume and improve the appearance of the smile by subtly altering the lip contour.

Neuromodulators: Although you wish to avoid a "botoxed" appearance, small, precise applications of neuromodulators can sometimes help balance muscle activity and improve smile dynamics.

Laser or Radiofrequency Treatments: These can help improve skin elasticity and may enhance the overall appearance of the lip area.

Discuss these options with a qualified cosmetic surgeon to explore the best approach for your situation.
