Question

I have sustained a hypertrophic scar on the right side of my upper lip, which has given me an uneven smile.

I am curious to know if you would consider this kind of correction operation and if so, it's cost?

Answer

On occasion, this may be corrected just using injections that soften and flatten the scar.

It would be important to evaluate the consultation the exact configuration of the scar, and what creates the tethering effect in order to be able to advise you properly.
