Determining candidacy for a corner lip lift involves assessing several key factors related to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals: Corner Lip Lift Purpose: This procedure is designed to elevate the corners of the mouth, creating a more upturned and youthful appearance without significantly altering lip volume. Considerations for Candidacy: Philtrum Length: While a short philtrum can be advantageous for certain lip procedures, the primary focus for a corner lip lift is the position and droop of the mouth corners. Desired Outcome: If your goal is to achieve a specific lip shape similar to the reference provided, it’s important to communicate this clearly with your surgeon. They can assess whether the desired outcome is achievable through a corner lip lift alone or if additional procedures might be needed. Consultation with a Specialist: A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon experienced in lip procedures is crucial. They can evaluate your facial structure, discuss your goals, and determine if a corner lip lift is the best option for achieving your desired look without increasing lip volume. Ultimately, the surgeon can provide personalized advice and ensure that your expectations align with what can be realistically achieved through the procedure.
