Lip lift

I had a lip lift completed and it seems that only the Cupid’s bow was lifted which has resulted in my mouth appearing downturned. I now have a Cupid’s bow that shows but the sides of the upper lip barely show. Is this normal and may improve or does it require a revision

Procedure: Lip Augmentation/Enhancement
Location: holland, MI

You may not have had enough skin removed along the base of the ala (wings of the nose). I recommend you bring this to the attention of your surgeon for consideration of revision.

Thank you for sharing your question. you did not list the timing of your procedure but I would advise waiting at least 6 months to see your long-term result and then a revision can be prepared, if needed. Best wishes.
