Lip Lift or Other Procedures to Make Upper Lip Go Up and Teeth Are Showing?

I totally agree with your statement, but the picture shows that you already have everything that I would try to achieve with a lip lift. You may want to get some additional enhancement to your lip with a conservative amount of an HA filler, but I don't think you need a lip lift. This is my recommendation unless I am not looking at the right picture. If this is the case, feel free to send a picture of you with your mouth slightly open and include your nose and chin.

Thank you for your question!  I would highly recommend getting a formal evaluation with and treatment from a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and expert in facial sculpting. Technique is the key to a successful lip augmentation with fillers, so you'll want to see someone meticulous. An experienced physician will be able to determine which filler, how much filler, and which technique will give you the subtle result you're looking for. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Good day! Thank you for providing photos with your inquiry. Lip lift is a minor surgical procedure that shorten the distance between the nose and upper lip. It allows more of your central upper teeth to show both at rest and when you smile. The procedure is tailored for each patient to create youthful, natural looking results. Find a board-certified plastic surgeon and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

It would be helpful to see a higher quality photo of just you with nose and chin visible, with mouth slightly open. If your upper teeth are not visible in this view then an upper lip lift may be in your best interest. If your upper teeth are visible and you still want to reduce the upper white lip length then a dental procedure may be necessary as well. 

Thankyou for your question. 
For the look you are trying to achieve, you would need a lip lift not a reduction. To show the teeth as you describe, i would consider a bullhorn lip lift. This places the incision underneath the nose lip junction so the scar is hidden quite well and you can achieve a very nice lift of cupids bow such that the teeth will show in a resting position.
I would defintiely not consider a reduction, as this would pull more of your lip inwards and not achieve the result you desire.
An incision can be placed along the lip margin too but I prefer the bull horn to achieve the look of a pouty lip with the front teeth showing
I hope this is helpful to you
Kind regards 

Thank you for your question! 
Most lip lift procedures can be performed with incisions under the nose or through a direct excision of the skin right above the upper lip border. For younger patients like you, the incision under the nose will be less visible. Both procedures can be done under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort. This procedure is ideal for patients that have a longer upper lip and desire more upper teeth and upper lip show. Hope this helps! Best to you, Dr Miotto.

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 just 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.

From your photo, it does not appear that a lip reduction would be advisable.

If your upper teeth length are adversely impacting your smile appearance, then veneers may be an option. I would advise you to consult in person with a facial plastic surgeon with experience performing this procedure.

From your picture it appears that you may have had lip augmentation which definitiely can corntribute to hiding the teeth.
However, a lip lift will shorten the distance from your lip to your nose and allow more "dental show" when you smile.

What you are looking for is exactly what upper lip lift does.
Watch my video below, it explains what the procedure can accomplish and shows some examples.

The scar is very well hidden. My own secretary had the procedure done, and the scar is almost impossible to see. She is the biggest reason patients book for the surgery when they come to the office, because people see it in person.

An Upper Lip Lift would give you the look you're after. I would recommend you go with a Bull Horn pattern. You do not need veneers to accomplish this because it is a skin problem not a dental problem in your particular case. Best,
