The plasma, or "J-plasma" technology is not going to get you the same results as a lip lift, not even close. Tightening the skin does not increase the red lip volume or the upper dental show.

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry...
