Answer: Difference of Italian and Bullhorn Lip Lift Hi! For your guidance, lip lift, or sometimes called as bullhorn procedure, is a minor surgical procedure that shorten the distance between the nose and upper lip which allows more of your central upper teeth to show both at rest and when you smile. The incision is done at the base of the nose, just within the nostrils. It was called bullhorn because of its shape as the muscle is tucked which shortens the skin providing a youthful upper lip in less than an hour under local anaesthetic.On the other hand, italian lip lift is a modified bullhorn lip lift in which it has a short incision (compared to bullhorn) that creates a similar effect. This procedure has two shorter incisions centered under the nostrils rather than continuing completely across the nose. Do not hesitate to ask your surgeon about detailed information on your options. #RealSelf100

Answer: Type of Lip Lifts I've attached a link to a photo that I think you will find useful and that illustrates the various types of lip lifts. Basically, you could 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.

Answer: I noticed that different manufacturers have different dimensions for the same cc's Great question. My colleagues have explained in great detail the differences in techniques; pros and cons. What I prefer to do in my practice is take variations of these to suit a patient's individual needs. No one person is alike so procedures should be customized to fit the specific needs of the patient. Kind regards,Gary Horndeski M.D.

Answer: Types of lip lift. What would work for me. There are many variations of lip lift techniques. The direct lift above the vermilion is an option that is out of favor today because it interferes with an important anatomical feature that is the white line separating the vermillion from the skin and forming the cupids bow. The sub nasal techniques are a much better option. The shape and the size of the incision will depend on the individual patient's requirements and the goals that are established after examining the patient. One can plan on lifting the center of the lip more than the sides. In this case the skin excision should be wider in the center and taper off to the base of the nostrils. In other situations, a wider excision is done laterally. A great degree of artistic evaluation is needed to achieve a best results. This is one the most artistic and rewarding surgeries that I do. You have included a picture and I assume you want to know what needs to be done in this particular case. It this case an incision is made going from the base of the ala, and then it goes into the nostril, then it continues in the angle between the columella and the lip into the other nostril and then under the other alar base. An even amount of skin is taken from the center and the sides to try to maintain the pleasing shape of this lip. This person obviously needs to be evaluated carefully to decide exactly what works for them and how much lifting is required, but the person in this picture is a great candidate.
