Lip filler after (Bullhorn upper) lip lift?

L
louist91drawsApr 1, 2019

I just had an upper lip lift using the Bullhorn method 11 days ago, and am wondering if it will be safe to get injectible lip fillers in a month? Is this enough time for the lip lift to heal? I loved the way the swelling looked in my lips and over time am feeling less confident as my lips continue to de-swell and get thinner. What is the earliest time this could be done? If possible, is even three weeks too early? Please let me know!! (Thank you!)

You appear to be an excellent candidate for a lip lift.  A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

With your philtrum length being about 22mm, I would estimate that the ideal amount of skin to remove during a surgical lip lift for you would be about 6-8mm. This would give you a subtle yet noticeable change without looking overly "done" or exposing too much of your teeth. You certainly seem...
