I'm close to Chicago and considering having this done. I'm a 52 year old female who hates her upper lip and the great space between lip and nose. Can lip symmetry also be corrected and am I a good candidate?I want it to look completely natural (upper lip no more than 2/3 as full as bottom lip) and not rabbit-like, and would like the procedure done under local (had my upper blepharoplasty done under local) in-office. If satisfied with answer I will contact you about fees and more info. Thanks!

Answer: Lip lift candidate 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,

Answer: Good Candidate for Bullhorn Lip Lift? 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.

Answer: You might be a perfect candidate
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
