I have been contemplating fixing my upper lip length and lack of shape. The length of my upper lip does not seem too bad until you see the sides of my upper lip, which extend downwards and seem very long. This is possibly made worse due to a lack of structure/volume in the paranasal area, especially where the alar edge meets the rest of my face. Can I excise more skin in an upper lip lift on the sides of the alae versus taking the majority of skin directly under the columella?
I have seen comments regarding upper lip stretching to help with short upper lips. I had too much removed when I had a lip lift- 8mm removed. I would love to gain some mm. I am now 5 weeks post surgery and have not seen any signs of dropping. What are the lip stretching exercises I have read about on Real Self? When can I start these exercises?
