How can I improve the aspect of both my upper and lower lips? (photos)

Asked By:shirayukib in San Francisco, California, États-Unis
I am a 32yo female with genetically extremely thin lips (+ small mouth, long face & long noise). I've tried fillers and want a permanent solution to improve my face proportions. I have been told by 2 surgeons that lip lift was a good option, another told me that since my nose base is very narrow, the scar would be awful. Besides, some told me I could have a lipofilling on the lower lip, some do not recommend it due to the risks of asymetry. What is your advice?

A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. You would benefit from a lip lift.
