Lip reconstructions can be safely performed several years after an injury. Please visit with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of plastic surgery to see what options you have for your procedure.

Yes, of course. Lip reconstriction can be performed years after the trauma. Photos would be useful in order to further advise.

Most likely it could be improved. What you need to do is make an appointment for consultation with a local ABPS certified or eligible plastic surgeon and go from there.
