I went to a plastic surgeon because my upper lip is very thin! He told me my case is difficult for various reasons and that my philtrum is a bit long and that it would not work just to put filler in my top lip. Then he said that I would benefit from him injecting filler into my philtrum, which would then lift my top lip, making lip bigger and reducing the length of the philtrum. Is this right? Or would I need a lip lift? Would lip lift look good? Cant find anything on filler in philtrum!
Answer: Lip fillers in the philtral columns - Los Angeles The philtral columns can sometimes benefit from volume enhancement and this would have to be determined in examination. This is a common practice in most circles. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACSLos Angeles

CONTACT NOW Answer: Who needs a lip lift? Hi @LisaThanks for the question. The image is not at a standard angle so it's hard to say exactly but you do seem to have a long upper white lip and a diminutive red lip.If your white lip (the area from the nose to red lip) is over 18mm then you would benefit from a lip lift. Philtral injections would bolster the philtral columns and give a nice touch.See an expert.

Answer: Upper lip injection There are surgical and non-surgical approaches to lip augmentation. Non-surgical approaches include botox (slight lift, reducing gum show) and filler (volume restoration). Surgically, you can have two separate incisions under the nose (italian), one incision under the nose (bull horn), one incision at the red/white upper lip junction (gull wing) or two separate incision at the corners, or a combination, depending on your desired look and anatomy.

Answer: Can Injections lift the lip ? Thank you for your question. The Lip Lift procedure is performed to accentuate the size and/or shape of the upper lip by removing skin from the region underneath the nose. As the distance is decreased between the nose and the lip, the red lip is 'lifted'. In appropriate individuals, shortening this distance may impart or restore a more favorable balance to lips and face. In most cases, injectable volumizing fillers do not enable a significant 'lift' at all. Most patients seeking shortening of this area find non-surgical options insufficient to achieve their aesthetic goals in this regard.
