I do not use fillers. I am happy with the volume of my lips and distance between nose and lipHowever I have a heavy upper lip and it looks awkward and gives me an asymmetric closed smile. Would a lip lift help improve the shape ie length of lip? I feel like my upper lip needs to be longer ie lifted vertically not horizontally for an aesthetic smile. Is this possible with a lip lift or any other procedure you would recommend?
Hello! I measured 16.5mm philtrum length, I want enough change to justify a scar and healing time, but I don't want too much removed where my mouth would look weird? Is 5mm a good middle of the road amount? I trust my doc but I would like a second opinion. I have surgery scheduled in January. (Yes I will dissolve all the lip filler soon, it's not attractive.)
I am a woman with larger than average philtrum (16-17mm), no tooth show, and an upturned/short nose. I am concerned about the length of my philtrum and would like advice on how to shorten it with non surgical methods, as this area of the face tends to lengthen with age (I am 24). Would pdo threads, an elastic thread procedure, or Botox/filler give a natural looking result to balance my face symmetry?
I been wanting to do lip filler for a long time and I am just now finding more information about the lip lift procedure I feel like this would balance my face, my length between my lip and my nose is pretty long. Is there a way to get scar treatment for under the nose? Is it usually bumpy where the scar is?
I'm getting a rhinoplasty and then after that considered getting a lip lift to better my upper lip. I measured the space from my lip to nose to be at around 14mm (with a basic ruler so not reliable) I don't want it to be a huge lift, would it be possible to only remove 2mm. I considered lip injections but am worried they'll look unnatural. should I get a lip lift in regards to the conditions listed above or would it be better to get lip injections? thank you for your time.
I've been considering a lip lift for quite some time now because my lips are full and perhaps a little lower than normal. I'd like to smile with more but because i'm insecure with the lack of showing of my teeth due to my lip curtain, i don't usually smile in photos. I took a photo below to determine if I'm eligible to do the lift, meaning length from upper lip to nose. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm a 31 year old female. I measured my philtrum today and it is 22 mm long, which is ridiculously long. I read that the ideal female philtrum is 11-13 mm, is this true? Should I tell my surgeon that I want him to make my philtrum 12 mm in length??
Curious, as I seek out a doctor, the length I should be striving for. Obviously, everyone is different and every surgery is customized. But would like to have some kind of a marker to know how far off I am currently.
I have a pretty long Philtrum as seen in photos and I really hate it. Whenever I take photos I always end up looking angry and old. My bottom face would look so long and droopy. What can I do to reduce the Philtrum length? Is a lip lift the only way? Will a lip lift make my lips look too big? Although the question is about Philtrum, my nose always looks crooked in photos too, is rhinoplasty a better option to consider after the liplift?
