My lower lip protrudes more than my upper lip. What's a safe long term solution to have them equal? (photos)

September 23, 2016
Asked By:Hammud in Saudi Arabia, SA

I recently corrected my upper row of teeth which receded my upper lip causing an unappealing difference with my lower lip. - I have read here that injecting fat from my body is a possible longterm solution but needs to be done over intervals by a veteran in the field. The results last a decade, correct? - Should I inject my upper lip or philtral columns? If the latter, should it be internal or external? - I would like to keep the number of injections overtime at a minimum & low maintenance.
