Do Bull Horn Lip Lifts Make the Nostrils Appear Larger and More Flared?

Good day! A good lip lift done by an experienced surgeon won't have larger nostrils as part of the final result. You may use existing search tools here on Real Self to find a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that has extensive experience with your case. It is best to look for before and after photos and reviews of past patients so you can have an well-informed decision. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

If a subnasal lip lift (Bull Horn Lip Lift) is done properly it should not change the shape of the nostrils.  The incision is designed to lie in the nostril crease and does not distort the nostrils.  In considering a subnasal lip lift it is important that the distance from the bottom of the nose to the red lip is long enough, as usually about 1/3 of the lip under the nose will be removed. A better way to simulate the result is to take a couple of Q-tips and elevate the lip from under the nose and see the improvement and appearance of the red lip.
