Procedure to fix uneven lip? (photos)

July 17, 2016
Asked By:ktll143 in Orange County, CA

Got my lip busted open when I was 5 on a chain bridge at a park from getting pushed off of it, the doctor did what he could at the time and basically just told my parents to let it heal, now I'm left with a very noticeable uneven upper lip, tired of people constantly noticing it and asking what happened, especially being 19 now it makes me cover my mouth when I talk because I'm so self conscious because of it, can anything be done? Thanks
