A small part of my upper lip is uneven. How do I fix this? (photos)

Question

My part of my lip is uneven due to an accident years ago where my face smashed the ground. My lip is not actually uneven, it is just that a small part of it went colourless so it appears uneven.

Kian Karimi, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for sharing your question. Based on your photos, I would recommend a very small dose of a hyaluronic acid filler (such as Restylane Silk) to correct the unevenness. It should not take much filler to make your upper lips appear even. Please consult with an experienced injector who will be able to assess you in person and make more specific recommendations. Best of luck!

You should start out with 1cc of juvederm filler and go from there. You do not want to overdo too much filler in the lips. It also depends on the look you are going for too. You can always add more filler to the lips if needed. Just remember if you are going to do your lips and you do not want to bruise you should not take any aspirins or anything that will thin the blood since brusing can occur.

Thank you for your question.  A well-placed dermal filler will help create additional volume to the right upper lip and will better approximate the left upper lip.  Hope this helps.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest a small amount of filler to improve this area.  Please see an expert in lip and facial sculpting.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thanks for your question. This is a question that we
get asked often by our patients.

In my professional experience, it is possible to
consistently gain better symmetry and overall shape of lips with injection of
hyaluronic acid lip fillers as it allows you to completely reverse the results
if you do not like them.  While these are temporary (lasting about 6
months) they are quick, simple and have minimal pain or down time. For the best
results please consult a board certified dermatologist with experience with
dermal filler and hyaluronic acid cosmetic injections.
