Best Lip Lift Procedure to Reduce Area from Nose to Lip?

There are two general approaches to the lip lift
Most of the better (in my opinion) lip lift procedures place the scar at the just beneath the nostrils. There are various names for this but the general pattern of skin removal looks like a bull's horns.
However, caution must be used in the amount of lift, because too much will lift only the central portions of the lip (pursed appearance) without effecting the outer corners of the mouth. In a more mature (aged) individual this is frequently combined with a corner lift. In a younger individual this will cause too much scarring
The other approach is to place the scar directly above the red portion of the lip where a woman wound apply lip liner.
I discourage patients from choosing this because I feel it alters the normal border of the lip and will always require some form of makeup or permanent pigmentation (tattoo). The advantage is that you can selectively lift any portion of the lip (not just the central lip as described above) and essentially have the patient draw out the desired result. The red portion of the lip is then rolled upwards and can be somewhat apparent.
In either technique, unfavorable scarring may occur and the procedure should not be undertaken until you are willing to accept this risk,
I hope this helps.

Good day! Thank you for providing photo with your query. 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 mouthFind a board-certified plastic surgeon that has extensive experience with your case and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

A bull horn incision is the preferred type as it conceals the incision in the shadow between the nasal base and the upper white lip. The gull wing incision along the vermillion has greatly fallen out of style because scarring in this area can be extremely noticeable and troubling to correct.

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. Popular options include incision placement underneath the nose (sub-nasal
lip lift), or within the nostril (endonasal lip lift, Italian lip lift), just
above the vermilion border. Speak with your surgeon about your goals and his or
her recommendation about how to best accomplish those.

Thank you for your question and sharing your photo.  Lip lifts can be an extremely rewarding procedure that can increase the fullness of the upper lip, give you a little more lip show.  The amount of lift does depend on the starting length of the upper lip skin and the desired look afterwards.  The incision is hidden at the border of the upper lip skin and base of the nose and spans the width of the nose.  I perform these procedures under local anesthesia, but it can also be done with sedation or general anesthesia.  Good luck.

Our office specializes in many different types of lip lift procedures to improve lip dimensions and aesthetics. A lip lift can be performed inside the mucosa of the lip or below the nose. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian
