hi i'm just curious about changing the shape of my upper lip. i always see lip enhancement as in making the lips bigger or a lip lift which is lifting it up, but never changing the shape. i dont want to make my upper lip bigger in size, just change the shape of it. my upper lip has a wavy pattern that sits on my lower lip, i was looking to see if it was possible to straighten it out so that i have more defined lips. can i change the shape of the upper lip? do surgeons perform this procedure? :)
