Best Lip Lift Procedure to Reduce Area from Nose to Lip?

There are two general approaches to the lip lift
Most of the better (in my opinion) lip lift procedures place the scar at the just beneath the nostrils. There are various names for this but the general pattern of skin removal looks like a bull's horns.
However, caution must be used in the amount of lift, because too much will lift only the central portions of the lip (pursed appearance) without effecting the outer corners of the mouth. In a more mature (aged) individual this is frequently combined with a corner lift. In a younger individual this will cause too much scarring
The other approach is to place the scar directly above the red portion of the lip where a woman wound apply lip liner.
I discourage patients from choosing this because I feel it alters the normal border of the lip and will always require some form of makeup or permanent pigmentation (tattoo). The advantage is that you can selectively lift any portion of the lip (not just the central lip as described above) and essentially have the patient draw out the desired result. The red portion of the lip is then rolled upwards and can be somewhat apparent.
In either technique, unfavorable scarring may occur and the procedure should not be undertaken until you are willing to accept this risk,
I hope this helps.

Hi @TobyRyanThanks for the question and sharing the picture! You would do better with a Bullhorn pattern which is more anatomically natural and give a better result. It is also hidden right below the nose. The Gullwing pattern is along the actual lip and is a more obvious scar and less poutier lift. 
An upper lip lift is an excellent procedure to give naturally beautiful, youthful and poutier lips. It's one of my favorite procedures because it is quick (90 minutes), does not require general anesthesia, and it makes a big difference that is long-lasting.
Patients of all ages can benefit from an upper lip lift, the idea candidates have an upper lip length greater than 1.5 cm. This is measured as the distance from the base of the nostrils to the red part of your lip. An easy way to tell if you can benefit from an upper lip lift is to relax your mouth so your mouth is slightly open... if you cannot see your upper teeth during natural lip separation - you may benefit from an upper lip lift. 
The surgery is designed so the incision is concealed along the groove under your nose and heals with an inconspicuous scar. Patients with a long upper lip who elect to get lip filler instead of a lip lift are at increased risk for developing "Duck Lips" because the filler has no more vertical room to push the lips, and so they end up going out like a duck bill. So fillers are a great option for lip augmentation but cannot deliver a lip lift like an actual lip lift procedure. 
Regarding the scars in your question above - the scar typically heals extremely well and can be further effaced with laser if it's a concern.To optimize your chances of an excellent scar we recommend no smoking 4 weeks prior to the surgery and limit sun exposure after the surgery.

Good day! Thank you for providing photo with your query. Ask your doctor about lip shortening which has small incisions placed at the base of the nose under the nostrils. This shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip and will also allow the lip to “roll out”, creating a more pouty look. This procedure also drastically improves the aesthetic of one’s smile and facial proportions. It is tailored for each patient to create youthful, natural looking results that can create a more proportional smile and reduce the signs of aging around the mouthFind a board-certified plastic surgeon that has extensive experience with your case and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100
