My lower lip is noticeably bigger than my upper lip, especially on the left side where it seems to droop down more. I also have some facial asymmetry my left side looks slightly bigger and looser compared to the right, which feels tighter. The tissue on the left side seems less firm, affecting my cheek and lip. Would lower lip reduction surgery help correct this? I'd like to understand more about the procedure and if it's the right option for me. Can we set up a video call to discuss this further? I'm based in Pune.

Lower lip reduction surgery can help address asymmetry, but facial analysis by a plastic surgeon is essential. They can assess muscle tone and tissue balance. You‚Äôd need to consult locally in Pune; video consultations are offered by many clinics.
