I have a very small mouth along with small lips. I was initially looking for a plastic surgeon to do a bullhorn lip lift along with making my bottom lip bigger. I've gone to different consultations - some suggesting no lip lift but rather a corner lip lift with fat transfer. Temporary fillers are getting costly and don't last longer then a few weeks.
