How do I fix lip discoloration? (photo)

The skin above my upper lip is darker than the rest of my face. I also have a white line outlining my lower lip. My lips have lost color and are kind of grey. How do I fix it?? Please help!

Thank you for sharing your question.  This subtle irregularity is the result of your cleft lip and subsequent repair, and can be improved upon with the conservative resection of red tissue.   See an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation to discuss your options.  Best wishes.
