I am a mid 20s male with a long philtrum and low tooth show. I am satisfied with the size and shape of my upper lip, which is why I have not gotten a lip lift. Is there a lip lift technique that can increase toothshow and reduce philtrum length while minimizing the change to the upper vermilion?
Hello doctors, I did a vermilion border liplift to reduce my philtrum and it was the biggest mistake of my life. I lost the white border of my lip, and also I have asymmetry. One side is higher and rounded the other side is lower and straight down. This caused my smile to be lower in one side and higher on the other side. Can I do a lip reduction or can I reduce my left side of the vermillion border thats rounded and lifted to match the right or will this cause more scarring & worst smile?
I had two consults regarding a lip lift, and absolutely certain I do not want bullhorn. One doctor suggested direct (vermillion) on upper, VY on lower, while the other surgeon said vermillion all the way. I would so appreciate another opinion.
I scheduled a consult with a doctor in NY who said Im a good candidate for a Vermilion border lip lift. I have a short distance between my nose and lip so I am NOT a candidate for a subnasal lift. Can you please give some advice? I know there can be a scar associated with this procedure I am 30 years old. The top photo is my lips with filler and bottom photo is my dream lip shape. Appreiciate your advice!
Is it possible to undergo a lip lift procedure without increasing the size of the upper lip? Cutting off a bit of philtrum length without making the face look more feminine/ duck lips?
Bullhorn (or similar) lip lift in 60 year old female. Am I suitable candidate? I dont want just the central part lifted as it would change me but Im asking is it surgically possible for the whole upper lip be lifted in equal proportion eg no more than 2mm the whole way across the top vermillion border? Just to get me back to how I was a few years ago?
If I am not wrong, in an Italian Lip Lift the incisions are made below of the nostrils and the columella is left intact. In which cases a Italian Lip Lift is a better option than a Subnasal Lip Lift? Would a Italian Lip Lift give only an increase of size on the vermillion borders and left the cupid's bow the same size, since there's no skin removed in the columella or would it give the same results as a Subnasal Lip Lift? Is a Double Duck Lip Lift the same procedure as an Italian Lip Lift?
I'm really interested in getting a lip lift for a more sexy and youthful look. I wish my teeth would show more when my mouth is open and wish I had a better pout face. I read that lip lifts are nice to increase the vermillion boarder a little and shorten the distance between the lip and nose. Based on the photos Am I a candidate for a lip lift??
I'm a female who is unhappy with the size of my philtrum. Is there a way to shorten it without doing a bullhorn lip lift? I feel like a bullhorn lift will only make my lips droop more. I've considered a corner lip lift but don't want to deal with the scarring. In my case, would a vermillion border lift work?
I'm not talking about the corner or the mouth or the center and cupids bow area, but the area between those two. The lateral part of the upper lips. A bull horn lip lift doesn't extend out far enough. So what's the solution?
