You do appear to be a candidate for this procedure. The goal would be to shorten and elevate the upper lip.

Good day! Thank you for providing photo with your query. I believe you are a good candidate for a lip lift. Ask your doctor about lip shortening which has small incisions placed at the base of the nose under the nostrils. This shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip and will also allow the lip to “roll out”, creating a more pouty look.This procedure also drastically improves the aesthetic of one’s smile and facial proportions. It is tailored for each patient to create youthful, natural looking results that can create a more proportional smile and reduce the signs of aging around the mouth. Find a board-certified plastic surgeon that has extensive experience with your case and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100
