Would I be a good candidate for a lip lift? What can I do to shorten the 2 cm long space between my lips and nose? (photos)

Mo12345mNov 30, 2022
I had nose job 9 months ago, after that space between lips and nose is 2cm, it looks very bad. 3 months ago I had removing silicon (lip surgary) from my lips, because I wanted them to be smaller to do lip lift. my lips are not small at all, after lip surgary I still have a lot of swelling, and its worst, it was better 2 montsh ago. I dont know will it go away, and I dont know what to do to shorten that space between nose and lips. Is there any solution for me?

The scar would not interfere with doing a lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. Buccal fat pad gives slimming not symmetry. Masseter botox will make you slimmer and make the jawline more loose. Fillers help give shaping and contouring. If you want perfect or close to perfect symmetry...
