Question

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

Good day! It is difficult to assess without an in person examination or at least a photo. It is also not clear if you already have undergone any surgery prior to the drooping of lower lip. Find a board-certified plastic surgeon and have an in person examination and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Consult a board certified plastic surgeon (American Board of Plastic Surgery). May need surgery to correct
