Will a Lip Lift Correct a Low Smile Line?

Good day! It is difficult to assess without in person examination or at least a photo. For your guidance, a lip lift is a minor surgical procedure that shorten the distance between the nose and upper lip. It allows more of your central upper teeth to show both at rest and when you smile. The procedure is tailored for each patient to create youthful, natural looking results. It is best to find a board-certified plastic surgeon and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

There are two specific procedures to consider for a long upper lip (low smile line) and lack of significant tooth show. Either a lip lift or a lip advancement can be done and both can be very successful. Which one may be right for you depends on numerous factors and you would have to show pictures from the front and side for further analysis. Both will elevate the smile line and show more teeth but they have slightly different effects on the upper lip and understanding those differences is important in deciding which one is right for you.
