Cost of a Smile Lift? (photo)

There are surgical and non-surgical approaches to lip augmentation. Non-surgical approaches include botox (slight lift, reducing gum show) and filler (volume restoration). Surgically, you can have two separate incisions under the nose (italian), one incision under the nose (bull horn), one incision at the red/white upper lip junction (gull wing) or two separate incision at the corners, or a combination, depending on your desired look and anatomy.
Your photos show a beautiful smile. I would start with nonsurgical filler injections in your particular situation. 
Best of luck.

Good day! Thank you for providing photos with your query. Ask your doctor about corner lift that focuses on the outer edge of the upper lip to the corner. This procedure is used to raise the corner of the mouth and improves the look of despair. The small incision is closed with dissolving sutures and can be covered with make up within the week.This is performed in the office  under a local anaesthetic in less than an hour. The most important part of any surgery is your doctor's experience. The cost varies depending on your area, facility, and years of experience of your surgeon. Average cost for lip lifts is $3,275 from all locations or you may check the costs specifically on your area here on Real Self. It is best to find a board-certified plastic surgeon that has extensive experience with your case and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

What you are referring to as a smile lift is known as a corner of the mouth lift. While an office procedure done under local anesthesia, it must be performed very carefully for good upward corner of the mouth movement and optimal scar placement. One would expect to pay anywhere from $750 to $1,250 for one side of the mouth.
