Does a Bullhorn lip lift always go with a cartilaginous fixation?

April 27, 2018
Asked By:vavaboubou in Here

I had a bullhorn lip lift done 9 days ago. Now that the swelling has disappeared, I find my upper lift far less lifted than I thought. I love it, though, but I'm worried that it will gradually drop more. In case I have to undergo lip lift surgery again, what are the different types of fixation, and what their pros and cons ?

Will a lip lift exaggerate a gummy smile?
Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS says:

Good day! Lip lift shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip and will also allow the lip to “roll out”, creating a more pouty look. Therefore, if you undergo a lip lift your gums will show on the center and exaggerate the "gum show" at the sides that you already have. Find a board...
