Am I good candidate for a lip lift? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. It really comes down to your goals and expectations. However, if you're looking to shorten the length of your upper lip and are okay with a small scar hidden under the nose, then I believe you'd benefit from a consultation with a surgeon who performs lip lifts. All the best!

I would highly recommend getting a formal evaluation with and treatment from a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and expert in facial sculpting. Technique is the key to a successful lip augmentation with fillers, so you'll want to see someone meticulous. An experienced physician will be able to determine which filler, how much filler, and which technique will give you the subtle result you're looking for. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Lip lifts are typically performed for 3 reasons: to improve dental show, to shorten the distance between the nose and the red portion of the upper lip, and to increase fullness of the upper lip. It was originally intended for older patients whose lips lengthened with age. However, some people are born with a naturally longer upper lip and recently we’ve seen an increase in lip lifts performed in younger patients. If upper lip volume is your only concern, you could try filler which is temporary and reversible. If the other areas mentioned above are important to you, a lip lift would be reasonable but given your age I’d recommend a conservative amount of skin be removed.
