I really don't like how much space on the sides of my lips there is. I don't mind the height in the middle but the sides above my lip seem like they take up a lot of space.

Answer: Bullhorn lip lift and corner lift Dear melaniejennie,Thanks for asking this question. You are a good candidate for a lip lift with corner lift. A lip lift will help shorten the distance between the base of your nose and the top of your lip. The corner lift will allow the corners of your lip to roll out/have more show. It would also increase the dental show at rest. A lip lift is done under local anesthesia (~60-90 mins), or can be done with sedation. It is a permanent procedure. The incision is placed under the nose and heals very favorably if done by an expert. Social downtime is 1-2 weeks because of lip swelling. The results are immediate. Notably, 1) shorter distance from the base of the nose to the top of the lip, and 2) increased red lip show at rest. I recommend you see a board-certified facial plastic surgeon like myself. I hope this helps!
