The Distance Between Nose and Upper Lip is 2 Cm. Can 9mm of Lip Lift Be Done to Reach 1.1? (photo) very long distance between base of nose and upper lip.

A: You may find that the "cure is worse than the problem"

You have facial proportions which will make a lip lift a poor option:

Narrow nose at the base
Broad face
A broad lip centrally and narrow laterally

Unfortunately in order to achieve adequate lip lift, the incision would have to be extended beyond your narrow nasal base creating a visible scar.

Interestingly, the proportions of you face might be improved by having botox injected into your masseter muscle and this will make your lips appear better proportioned.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Lip Lift? (photo) Am I the right candidate for this procedure? Would this procedure make my lips more shapely and fuller? I feel like my lips are just flat with no shape, they are just a straight across line. I am not interested in having big lips, just a more attractive lip shape, and the distance between the base of my nose and upper lip is too long I think, it looks mature and kinda old looking.

A: The lip lift may be poorly suited to you.

There are many factors on deciding for or against a lip lift, but in your case a major consideration will be if the incision is likely to be too visible.

It appears from your photo that you have a turned up nose and thick skin about the nasal base. Patients of this sort I will not do because the incision ends up exposed and too visible.

However this is based on only the forward view. It would be better for you to provide a lateral and 3/4 view taken much closer to your face.

Will Top Lip Reduction Raise the Lip Part/stomion? When performing lip reductions, most notably top lip reductions, does the stomion (lip part) raise higher? I feel like my top lip is very full and my stomion is lower than it should be dragging my lower third of the face down and visually elongating it. It is hard to explain..and it may be just in my head. The ideal proportions has it that the lip part should be at 1/3 of the lower 1/3 section of the face. Thank you for your time!

A: Relationships of all the components about the lip are the key to a great result.

Success in deciding for a lip lift depends on many factors:

Patients who have a short turned up nose tend to end up with a too visible scar
Patients who have a longer nose and are older get great results.
Patients who have a short chin will need chin-jowl augmentation as a combined technique
Patients who have had prior injectables unless they are permanent need to await some resolution of the product. On the other hand, in may be appropriate to enhance the vermillion as well.

You need to see a plastic surgeon who has an artistic eye and does not limit his view to the lip.
