My upper lip is quite long. I was considering a lip lift but worry scarring will be bad. I am caucasian so should scar ok but do not want permanent marks. Is this a risk?

Answer: Lip lift scars Thank you for your questions.Your concerns are valid. The scar from a lip lift is however hidden very well in the shadows of the nose. Scars in Caucasian can at times be nearly imperceptible with careful attention to technique and post op care. The improvement in the shape and show of the upper lip to others around you will be much more perceptible than the faint scar that only you and your surgeon would notice.Best of luck

Answer: Lip Lifts Having done a lot of subnasal lip lifts I would say that the scarring is quite good. But the key to good scarring in this area is to follow the natural curvatures of the lip-nose junction (don't make a straight line) and do not have too much skin removed. (never more than 1/3 to 1/4 of the total philtral length distance.
