Good Candidate for Bullhorn Lip Lift?
I'm close to Chicago and considering having this done. I'm a 52 year old female who hates her upper lip and the great space between lip and nose. Can lip symmetry also be corrected and am I a good candidate?
I want it to look completely natural (upper lip no more than 2/3 as full as bottom lip) and not rabbit-like, and would like the procedure done under local (had my upper blepharoplasty done under local) in-office. If satisfied with answer I will contact you about fees and more info. Thanks!

As for the shape of the upper lip, that is controlled by how much lateral versus medial tissue you take off. This is not a cookie cutter procedure, and I like doing it under local so the patient can look and we can tweak...

Upper Lip Contour
Dear Yannzi
The shape of the lip can be changed with surgery and with fillers. An upper lip shortening will make a nice change- as long as the lip and your teeth (upper dental arch ) are in a good relative position- this is hard to determine from your photo. if the lip is sitting below your teeth when your mouth is partially open, shotening the upper lip will improve the proportions.
The shaping of the outer portion of your lip can be enhanced with fillers.
These procedures may not...
