Good Candidate for Bullhorn Lip Lift?

Dear Yannzi
The shape of the lip can be changed with surgery and with fillers. An upper lip shortening will make a nice change- as long as the lip and your teeth (upper dental arch ) are in a good relative position- this is hard to determine from your photo. if the lip is sitting below your teeth when your mouth is partially open, shotening the upper lip will improve the proportions.
The shaping of the outer portion of your lip can be enhanced with fillers.
These procedures may not make your lip perfect and the scar from the lip lifting surgery is a trade off- in many cases it heals very well.
This can be done under a local and the sutures would be removed at day 4.
With Warm Regards,
Trevor M Born MD

Good day! Thank you for providing photo with your query. I believe you are a good candidate for a lip lift. 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 mouth
Find a board-certified plastic surgeon that has extensive experience with your case and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Based on your facial proportions you appear to be a good candidate for an upper lip lift. It can be done naturally and some asymmetry can be corrected, though please keep in mind that asymmetry is often what makes us beautiful. 

Thank you for your question and helpful picture. Yes, asymmetry can be corrected and the length of your philtrum reduced. It is important to remove just the right amount of skin from the sides to avoid the "bunny look" Please choose an experienced surgeon who performs these often as they do require a certain level of finesse. I always perform these under local anesthesia (injections) in the comfort of my office. Patients are awake and can drive themselves back home or to the hotel if from out of state. You are an ideal candidate for this procedure. I hope this information helps. Best wishes and kind regards,

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.

Whether or not one may be a good candidate depends on more
than a photo. One's overall health, potential satisfaction with the appearance
of a shortened upper lip distance, and willingness to accept the associated
scar should be considered.

Lip lift is usually a very rewarding and satisfying procedure in a right patient. It provides not only a lasting result but also more "pout" effect and lip shortening that is impossible to achieve with fillers only

You might find the video link below helpful, as well as a link to another blogpost.
If your upper lip from the columella (little column of tissue between the nostrils) to the red border of the lip is more than 1.5 centimeters in length, you will benefit from a lip lift.
As for the shape of the upper lip, that is controlled by how much lateral versus medial tissue you take off. This is not a cookie cutter procedure, and I like doing it under local so the patient can look and we can tweak some of the vectors before final closure.
Good luck on your search!

Unfortunately doing an agressive bullhorn style lift will only elevate the central 2/3 of your upper lip and leave the outer portions downturned.
You will have to consider the possible use of an outer lip lift (corner lift) on either a combined or staged basis as a potential option.

It sounds like you are in fact an excellent candidate for an upper lip lift, with a possible upper lip reduction. These are challenging procedures so you need to make sure it is performed by a surgeon experienced.
