I am 6 weeks post op from a le Fort 1 osteotomy. I had a keratocystic Odontogenic tumour removed from my max sinus. The max was put back where it was and now I feel like one side of my lip is rolling under making it tighter on one side. How would I correct this issue? Is at all. It's making me self conscious :(

By the looks of your photo, I would say that you can achieve a nice result with filler to the lips.  If you are still interested, you should consider having the filler done again.  Be sure to ask for before and after photos and ask your injector about his or her experience dealing with your t...
