Can Surgery Repair my Lip? Had a Skin Graft After Mohs

April 3, 2012
Asked By:zoecujo

I had a skin graft after Mohs. The graft extended down into my upper lip. The result is my lip line (from the center extending about 3/4 of an inch towards the left corner of the lip) is gone and the area below where a lip line would be is flat until it reaches the scar where the graft was attached. Can this be fixed. Plastic surgery or injectible filler? Who is the best doctor in NYC for this kind of surgery? Cost is no object.
