What is my best option to fix asymmetrical lips due to trauma? (photos)

January 18, 2017
Asked By:jnmi in San Francisco, CA

I fell and bit through my lower lip 9 mos. ago, requiring stitches outside and inside. Unfortunately, my lip is now asymmetrical, especially when I smile. This has affected my confidence when talking to people or smiling for pics. I've seen 2 plastic surgeons (around 5-6 mos. after), and both said they didn't feel any scar tissue. I'm told either a kenalog injection or scar revision may help. I'm reluctant about the kenalog due to risk of discoloration/indentation. What are my treatment options?
