Is There a Way to Shorten the Area Between the Nose Base and Upper Lip?
Help! I always notice that having a short distance from the base of the nose to the upper lip is a definitive youthful look (especially in women). Women with a long space between their nose and lips look older, sever and masculine... just out of balance and unharmonious. Can someone please, please tell me what nose surgery procedures are available to achieve this look? Also, how noticeable would the scars be with something like this? Thanks!

Lip shortening can be done
A lip shortening procedure is performed by removing a sliver of skin below the nose, hiding the scar in the shadow at the junction of the nose and upper lip. While this removes some of the skin of the upper lip and does actually shorten it, you will want your plastic surgeon to evaluate the position and form of your upper teeth and gums- together considered your upper jaw.
What you don't want is to raise your lip so much that too much of your teeth show with smiling or at rest- this would...

There are many ways to make this part shorter
You can do a lip lift which raises the lip; but this requires an incision under your nose and a scar there. The other way is to plump up the lips from inside to create a pout and raise the upper lip higher towards to the nose. Knowledge on how to do this in a beautiful way and make it look natural is important.

Lip Lift shortens space between nose and top of lip
The long space between the base of your nose and the top of your upper lip can be shortened with a Lip Lift. The incision is well hidden at the base of the nose. This procedure restores the upper lip to a more youthful position. I love doing this procedure because it makes such a big difference. The procedure only takes 90 minutes and it is performed under Local Anesthesia.

Lip shortening to decrease distance between nose and lip
Lip shortening is a common procedure to decrease the distance between the nose and upper lip. An incision is made at the base of the nose in the creases. A small amount of skin is removed to give you a youthful look. This gives your lip a nicer look, also. This procedure can be done as an outpatient and many times in an office setting. It is a very safe procedure.

Lip lift reduces upper lip length from nose and restores youthful look.
Lengthening of the upper lip occurs with age, and is corrected by excising skin just under the nose. Although this leaves a "scar" on the face, it usually heals quite well, and also helps the upper lip "turn out" when done in a manner to do so.

Upper lip can be shortened by plastic surgery.
The incision and resultant permanent scar for this procedure is at the base of the nose as it joins the lip. The entire lip can be raised with this operation, and the scar generally fades quite nicely in the majority of individuals. This is not a common operation for many surgeons, and I have been pleasantly surprised at the degree of improvement and overall satisfaction of the patients for whom I have performed this procedure. It can be done under local anesthesia, and is not expensive...
