Would I benefit from a bullhorn lip lift or is a corner lip lift needed? (photo)

Question

I have had filler multiple times in the past but it has been almost a year since my last injection. I have already scheduled a lip lift but now I am wondering if I should get a corner lift as well.

It's difficult to say without a formal evaluation. I suggest seeking out a facial sculpting expert to create a customized plan to best match your needs. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. A bullhorn lip lift alone will likely be sufficient. I would not do a corner lift at the same time for the risk of overcorrection. Furthermore corner lifts have more scar show, and typically the best candidates are higher in age.

Thank you for the question. I would advise against the corner lift, as the result is almost always unnatural and irreversible. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, Houston. TX.

I recommend a lip lift that extends to the side of the nose.  This allows the corners to be pulled up.  A corner lip lift makes an incision the lip itself which can leave unsightly scars.

Best Wishes,
