I regret my lip reduction. What can be done to get my old lip size back? (Photo)

Question

Hi! I had a lip reduction about 5 months ago and i regret it so much. I feel like i got botched and i am experiencing severe depression. My lips are uneven,is there a permanent solution to fix the bottom lip hanging on the left side. (Just curious is it possible to get my old lips size back on both lips)

Hello, hope you are well. Thank you for submitting your photo and questions. I would first encourage you to wait while the lips heal from the initial surgery--it takes about a year for scar tissue to mature. Then go for a consultation to discuss a few options for augmentation (the reverse of reduction). Fillers and tissue grafting (e.g. fat transfer) are the mainstays of lip augmentation. Your results will be more reliable if you wait. You can perform scar massage in the meantime.
Best,Dr. Tower
