Lip lift - can a lip lift make my philtrum shorter? (Photo)

Dear Mimilop,Thanks for asking this question. You are a good candidate for a lip lift. A lip lift will help shorten the distance between the base of your nose and the top of your lip. It would also increase the dental show at rest. A lip lift is done under local anesthesia (~60-90 mins), or can be done with sedation. It is a permanent procedure. The incision is placed under the nose and heals very favorably if done by an expert. Social downtime is 1-2 weeks because of lip swelling. The results are immediate. Notably, 1) shorter distance from the base of the nose to the top of the lip (shortens philtrum), and 2) increased red lip show at rest. I recommend you see a board-certified facial plastic surgeon like myself. I hope this helps!All the best,Dr. Sanan, MDAkshay Sanan MD Facial Plastic SurgeryDouble Board Certified
