Lip Lifts Are Very Natural

D.J. Verret, MD answers: Do Lip Lifts look natural?

Do you believe that the subnasal or "bull's horn" lip lift produces a natural appearance? I understand that the amount of lift varies by patient, but I find it hard to believe that just because someone has a droopy, long upper lip that they'd benefit from this procedure.

I lifted my droopy lips (very slightly) with my fingers and thought I looked strange. Thoughts?

Lip lift procedures can be very natural with a very well hidden scar. The larger question is - is a lip lift the best procedure for you. Lip aging is a rather complicated process involving the loss of several defining conditions of the lips. A lip lift helps to increase red show of the lip but other procedures may need to be undertaken to better plump the lips, redefine the philtral columns, and redefine the natural slope of the upper lip. Determining which combination is right for you is what a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon can accomplish.
