Is a lip lift worth the cost to make my face appear more feminine and balanced? (photos)

You will ultimately need to decide if a lip lift is worth the cost, but you do appear to be a good candidate. Look through photos of people's work and try to find someone who may resemble your appearance for a sense of what your result might look like. Your philtrum is likely about 17-18mm and a 5-7mm excision would go a long way.Gary Linkov, MDLip SpecialistManhattan   

It is hard to put price on the satisfaction that one might experience looking in a mirror and seeing a face that is cuter, more balanced and harmonious, but the feed back that I get from my patients are always very positive and validate what I do everyday. Lip lifts have been one of my most satisfying cosmetic procedures.  A small operation done under local anesthesia in the office that has created so much happiness for my patients and therefore for me. My patients definitely feel that it's worth the all inclusion $4000 dollars that they spent for the procedures. I would highly recommend this procedure for you after seeing you picture. This operation, more than any other cosmetic procedure, has to be done perfectly to look great. You should make sure you find the best plastic surgeon for this procedure and let the price be a secondary consideration. 

It is possible to reduce the length of your white upper lip by doing a lip lift procedure. This will produce more balance between your upper lip and your nose. In addition, it would provide more red lip show which is aesthetically more pleasing in female patients. I would recommend a facial plastic surgeon in your area.

A lip lift is very cost effective in terms of facial improvement and you would benefit from it.  A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

According to these photos, you do have slightly longer upper lip, based on aesthetic standard measurements. However, your lip is full, nicely shaped and projected. I do not see specific reason for lift. In person consultation with an experienced board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in facial surgery is recommended. Good luck. 

A lip lift is a great way to get a permanent improvement in the aesthetic of the lip. It is especially useful for people with a longer upper lip.

You have a beautiful face and without smiling, it appears that the distance between the base of your nose and upper lip vermilion is greater than 15 mm. The ideal distance between the base of the nose and pink vermilion in females is 11-13 mm. If the measured distance is greater, you are a candidate for the lift lip procedure. This surgery is generally performed in the office with intravenous sedation and recovery is 3-5 days. 

The best and only way to determine whether a lipids will create an improved facial appearance is its computer imaging. You are the best judge of what looks best on you. See what it may look like first before having the surgery as the procedure can not be reversed.
