Spent: $2,400 in Norfolk
I chose to get an upper lip lift because my upper lip is flat and when I add filler, I can get a duck-like appearance. I was awake for the procedure, but had been given valium and pain killers. I am nervous about the outcome because I still do not have tooth show! Also, my lip is looking flat... more »

I had a lip lift this past July and I could not be more thrilled with the outcome. I had a long upper lip and it dragged my features down. I'm 45 and all my age was showing around my mouth. The bullhorn lip lift makes my face look considerably younger. My doctor removed 8mm of skin. I... more »

I had a bullhorn lip lift 4 days ago and wish more than anything I could undo it. I think that too much skin was taken in then center, not enough on the sides, leaving me with a strange triangle shaped mouth, a long and distorted columella, and no upper lip at all. I just hope that there is some... more »

The surgeon did not make the incision at the base of my nose. Now I have a very visable scar about one centimeter below my nose in a half circle shape. The scar is very noticable and I cannot conceal it with make up. I am very self conscious about it. I was told by other surgeons it will not... more »

Lip lift: was it worth it?

Lip Lift Information

A lip lift can address increase the size of your lips if you have thin lips or have signs of aging. A lip lift increases the pink portion of the upper or lower lip or to reduce the distance between lips and your nose (the lip-to-nose ratio).  A lip lift procedure involves taking a strip of skin fom the part of the lip close to your nose. There are two types of lip lifts the Bullhorn lift and the Gull-wing lift.

Candidates for lip lift: For an upper lip lift, doctors look for a distance between the nose and the upper lip of greater than 1.8 cm.  Less than this and you may only realize a small change or improvement.

Lip lift recovery: 7-10 day healing period where the incision is quite visible and red. After this, makeup can be applied to camoflauge the area. As the swelling subsides, the lip should look natural. Incisions under the nose heals should heal with minimal scar.

Lip lift risks: Doctors state that you should avoid a lip lift if you are slow to recover or heal from a wound. Other potential risks to talk with your doctor about are swelling, excessive shortening, relapse, inadequate vermillion showing, asymmetry, and sensation changes.
