The technique I recommend is 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. The procedure takes less than 1 hour to perform under local anesthesia and costs $3,000.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
A downturned smile or permanent frown can be improved with a combination approach, including neuromodulators (such as Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau), injectable fillers, and radiofrequency skin tightening treatments such as Thermage or Venus Legacy. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist to develop a treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer.
Hi there, based on photos you sent, without seeing the whole face, a corner lip lift seems to be the most reasonable option to improve your lip shape.

I do not see what an upturned nose would have to do with prohibiting a lip lift. Lip lifts are commonly done in people with tilted noses. The scars, if the procedure is performed correctly, is very, very difficult to see once healed.
A lip lift, chin augmentation and rhinoplasty can all be done simultaneously or separately. I can do a lip lift under local anesthesia and charge $3,000. A chin augmentation and rhinoplasty have to be done under general anesthesia. The chin augmentation is $3,000 and rhinoplasty is $7,000. ...
There are surgical and non-surgical approaches to lip augmentation. Non-surgical approaches include botox (slight lift, reducing gum show) and filler (volume restoration). Surgically, you can have two separate incisions under the nose (italian), one incision under the nose (bull horn), one...
Based on your photos, it appears you would be a very good candidate for a lip lift. The bullhorn lift uses a single small incision at the base of the nose, which typically heals very well and leaves little visible scarring behind. The procedure will shorten the philtrum, extend mucosal show and...
