21, female, am I a good candidate for a lip lift and/or a genioplasty? (Photos)

The incision along the line of the upper lip is near what is called the white line of the upper lip. This is distorted and can look terrible. The lip lift I use makes the incision at the nose-lip junction and inside the nostril area then transversely at the columella of the upper lip. The...

Yes, you are a candidate for a lip lift. I would not recommend a corner lift at the same time. However, the corner lift will leave a scar that is highly visible. You are would be better off with an extension of the traditional lip lift with more skin removed laterally then centrally to pull...

Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us the length. It is possible to do a lip lift to excise more laterally than centrally to pull up the corners. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

I wouldn't typically recommend a surgical lip lift based on your photo. I typically recommend it for patients who have a long distance between the nose and upper lip, which is not present here. In my opinion, filler or fat transfer would be better options here.

The problem you have is that the vermilion border (the edge between the red and skin color of the lip) is blunted. That can happen with a lip lift of this type. The best option will be to do something to improve that area and give it more definition.

A small corner lip lift would help elevate the corners of the mouth. There is a incision right at the Vermilion border so sometimes it can be seen. A small amount of your own fat to the corners would also enhance the upward tilt of your corner of your smile.
