Would a lip lift help my teeth show more when I smile? (Photos)

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 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.
In most cases following a Lip Lift, there is improved teeth show while the lips are separated while at rest and with normal speaking. The amount of teeth show seen during smiling is influenced by the muscles associated with smiling more than the lip shortening which results from a Lip Lift. Consult with an experienced Lip Lift surgeon to learn about options available to achieve your goals.

Hello kpascThere are a few features of our faces that express such beauty and expression as our smiles. We now have so many options both surgical and non surgical to create beautiful lips and a sexy smile. In general, we can reshape, rejuvenate and add volume. There are fillers, silicone implants, dissolving thread implants, lip lifts, lip reductions, peels, and then of course cosmetic dental care to improve the color shape and contour of your teeth and gums.

Yes,
you are a good candidate for a lip lift but not using the traditional
technique.  Instead, you will need a
lateral extension.  If you look at your
photographs, you will see that the corners of your mouth are turned down.  If you underwent a central lip lift, it will
create more frowning.  You will need more
excision laterally then centrally.  The lip
lift should expose your upper incisors, shorten the distance between your lip
and nose and increase the upper lip fullness. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
