My lips are very thin. It's not just volume, it's their short length, vertical & horizontal. I want a lip lift, but I already have a somewhat small/normal philthrum. Are there any techniques or options for lip lifts where the philthrum isn't impacted? I don't really have any upper teeth show & dont have a gummy smile. &lip fillers isnt something I want bc of migration and not permanent. I don't want permalip either bc of migration risks. Any other options
My upper lip has always been very thin and it has bothered me a lot. I decided to get lip fillers, and now I'm done with 4 sessions (1 ml was injected each time) and I still don't see much difference. I think my body dissolves it very quickly. Half of my upper teeth is not visible when I smile. I measured my philtrum and it's 1,5 cm. Would I be a good candidate for a lip lift? I also want to have a rhinoplasty as I have a hanging columella. Can they be combined?
I am a 32yo female with genetically extremely thin lips (+ small mouth, long face & long noise). I've tried fillers and want a permanent solution to improve my face proportions. I have been told by 2 surgeons that lip lift was a good option, another told me that since my nose base is very narrow, the scar would be awful. Besides, some told me I could have a lipofilling on the lower lip, some do not recommend it due to the risks of asymetry. What is your advice?
Hello, I am turning 47 this year and have been increasingly unhappy about the length of my philtrum. I no longer have any upper tooth show. However, my lips are still nicely shaped. Although my lips have thinned over the years, they did maintain some fullness. I have had threading of the lip border done once. So, am I a good candidate for bullhorn with corner lip lift, or is my upper lip too full compared to my lower? Also, what kind of cost would I be looking at in Southern CA? Thank you!
26 years old, teeth already showing, want more proportionate plump lips. Seeking advice from experienced surgeon regarding my lips reshaping. My chin & the space between nose and lips are both too long, whereas my lips are quite thin (I have juviderm fillers, but I'm not happy with the result and want something long-lasting). My teeth are already showing when my lips are parted, and when I smile my upper lip has a tendency to jump up too much (I get Botox periodically to prevent it). Should I consider bull horn lift? Lower lip lift? Corner lift? Buccal fat removal?..
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!
My lips are incredibly thin. I recently had veneers put on my front 10 teeth - my normal teeth slightly protruded inwards and therefore my upper lip had zero support. Whilst I can feel that support now, its hard to see a big change to my lip size. Id like to get a lip lift to increase the red lip, but am concerned about too much teeth show and my chin looking huge in comparison to my small philtrum (currently 17mm). Would a chin reduction work be required or lower vermillion advancement?
Hello, I have been looking into a lip lift for a while but got concerned that it may make my gummy smile worse. I have a lot of space between my nose & upper lip, plus my upper lip is really thin. I've tried fillers, it didn't look right. My upper lip is already thin & when I smile my lip disappears & I have way too much gum show. I've tried smiling differently but it happens regardless. Is it possible to fix a gummy smile & also shorten the philtrum/make the upper lip bigger? Thank you!
I have extremely thin lips and a 2.1cm philtrum. Ive been to see a surgeon and he would not perform a lip lift as my teeth do show whilst my mouth is relaxing and he informed me I would look toothy post procedure. Ive recently had fillers but the length of my philtrum is still very upsetting to me. I would really like a second opinion as to whether a lip lift could help here or if any other treatments would shorten my philtrum. Photos are pre filler so are my natural lips.
I had some wonderful answers when I asked previously about a lip lift but it seems like pictures are necessary. My lips are extremely thin naturally. I had a fat Transfer last year to my top lip and a lot of the fat has dissolved so I will need to get it done again. I am wondering if a lip lift will be better. I measured a philtrum of about 20mm. I also had a rhinoplasty two years ago. I dont want my nostrils to get a lot wider than they already are please. I am also 19. Thank you!
