Would a lip lift work to give a 55-year-old a more symmetrical smile? (photos)

Question

I had a rhynoplasty 3 moths ago so I am hoping my nose will look a lot better soon. Should I do a lip lift on one side? fat grafting so my cheeks will look more symmetrical when I smile? Please help! I am also considering a mini facelift. Is there some way for my surgeon to use the mini face lift to help me achieve a more symmetrical smile?

Lip lifts perform 3 functions: shortens the
distance between the nose and lip, rolls out the mucosa of the upper lip and
increases the incisor show.Asymmetrical
skin resection is done to produce a more symmetrical smile.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Thanks for your question and pictures,
You are a perfect candidate for a Lip lift surgery to fix the asymetry of the smile and to reduce the space between your nose and Lips.
Best of Luck

An asymmetrical lip lift might improve your upper lip symmetry. Cheek lifting is unlikely to help this. Best of Luck  Dr Harrell
