I want something done to my top lip. I think it's very sexy when the top lip goes up and the teeth is showing. My lip completely covers my teeth. So I'm confused of how to get this look. What procedure should I get? Does a lip lift accomplish this, or it falls into the category of lip reduction, where the surgeon must do an excision on my lip? Or do I actually need veneers? There's a photo of my lips on the right, and the other 2 is the look I'm going for. Thank you.
Answer: I like when the top lop goes up and the 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.

Answer: Lip Lift 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

Answer: Lip Lift 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.

Answer: Surgical solution 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
