Can upper lip lift scars be completely removed and what type of lip lift is suitable? (Photos)

Question

What skin procedures will allow & how much timeline to remove scars? I scar badly, my skin takes long to heal (&heals badly; I get hyperpigmentation very easily too), so I'm afraid of scarring but I'd really like a lip lift. I've attached photos of my current & desired upper lip. Any recommendations for which type of lip lift suitable? I'd like more volume especially in the middle part (when I look at my lip from below I can see my upper lip has enough volume but it's all downwards).Thanks.

Lip filler is a suitable nonsurgical alternative. I would highly recommend getting a formal evaluation with and treatment from a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and expert in facial sculpting. Technique is the key to a successful lip augmentation with fillers, so you'll want to see someone meticulous. An experienced physician will be able to determine which filler, how much filler, and which technique will give you the subtle result you're looking for. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. based on the picture you appear to be good candidate for fat transfer to the mouth lips, to provides you better lips contour and improve the lips lines.  I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Hello,
Thank you for your enquiry. Simple methods to lift the lips are filler injections or fat transfer for more long-lasting results.
If you are getting hypertrophic scars or keloids, surgery is not a good idea. If they are getting hyperpigmented scars, they are often improving after several months or years. It is a good idea to liaise with a beautician / cosmetician to see how scars can be dealt with in the healing process and long term.
