Lip lift or lip augmentation.
The first computer signs of aging in the human female face is a lengthing of the upper lip, discouragingly around the age of 20. Older women may develop an upper lip that hangs like a curtain, totally hiding the upper teeth.When you look in a mirror you should get a hint of your upper teeth. If this is not the case then you need a lip shortenig procedure simply done under local anesthesia as an office procedure. This procedure will result in a cleverly placed scar at the base of your nose...

Lip Lift to Shorten & Augment Lip

Both will shorten the upper lip and will generally give you more upper tooth show. Make sure that whomever you see has significant experience in multiple ways to modify the lip.

Lip Lift For More Sultry Lip Result ?
Only a subnasal lip lift can reduce the vertical skin distance between the nose and the lip but it will have only a limited effect on increasing the size of the lip vermilion. Injectable fillers or a lip implant may be concurrently needed. A lip lift and an open rhinoplasty should not be performed at the same time. That leaves only a small amount of skin between the two incisions. While the intervening skin may have no survival issues, there is some risk of skin viability.It is better to...

Lip Lift Vs. Lip Augmentation To Create More Sultry Lips?
Lifting the lip would be able to decrease the distance between the nose and upper lip but it will not increase the volume of the lips themselves. To increase the upper lip volume, IMHO, you can inject Restylane or Juvederm into the border of the lip or add Alloderm or a silastic lip implant.

Lip Lift/Lip Augmentation
This is a popular request. The length between the nose to the upper lip can be shortened with a lip lift and either fillers or a lip implant can enhance the fullness of the lips. I recommend consulting with a board certified specialist who can best assist you in achieving the results you desire!

Lip Lift vs Lip Augmentation
Hello,
Everyone feels a little bit differently lip lift surgery, I tend to discourage most patients from pursuing it. There will always be a scar visible on the skin. In young skin without any wrinkles or creases the scar is even more challenging to camouflage.
In my opinion lip augmentation using injectable fillers offers the best option for creating full, voluptuous appearing lips. Both temporary fillers (Juvederm,...

Lip lift or fillers with rhinoplasty.
These can be done together with fillers and or lip lift. But a scar is made under the nostrils to do a lip lift so you would be wise to try fillers alone. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who does lip lifts as well.

Enhancing Lips
Your questions can be much more effectively answered in person. Often you can achieve what you want with just lip augmentation, but again, I would really need to see you in consultation to give you my opinion of how to best achieve what you want. I recommend you consult with a board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon.
