With the area between my lips and nose at 2cm, am I a good candidate for a lip lift? Have also had columella shortened. (photo)

Question

The area between my lips and nose is 2cm. I've had the columella shortened a few years ago and since then that area looks rather large. I also wouldn't mind if my lips looked a little fuller.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

The distance between your lip and nose is too long.  A lip lift would shorten the distance and give you increased upper lip fullness.  Unfortunately, you have not provided a photograph with your mouth open.  Ideally, there should be 1-2 millimeters incisor show.

Based on your photos you are an excellent candidate for a lip lift.  Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your expectations.
