I am 60. Had face lift, blepharoplasty years ago & some lipo filling. Now my face is dropping slowly AND my lips too. Upper lip too long, lower lip is showing lower teeth. I want to do lipo filling /& maybe vertical or midface lift?), lateral eye brows lift, maybe bullhorn AND THE MAIN QUESTION HERE IS - how to lift the lower lip? I have read about a Dr in USA using VY & some (was not specified which) "small muscle" to lift the lower lip. But I am in Europe. What is best to lift lower lip?
