Do you believe that the subnasal or "bull's horn" lip lift produces a natural appearance? I understand that the amount of lift varies by patient, but I find it hard to believe that just because someone has a droopy, long upper lip that they'd benefit from this procedure.I lifted my droopy lips (very slightly) with my fingers and thought I looked strange. Thoughts?

Answer: Do Lip Lifts Look Natural? Thank you for your question. The Lip Lift procedure is performed to accentuate the size and/or shape of the upper lip by removing skin from the region underneath the nose. As the distance is decreased between the nose and the lip, the red lip is 'lifted'. In appropriate individuals, shortening this distance may impart or restore a more favorable balance to lips and face. The simple appearance of a long upper lip does not necessarily suggest that a person would benefit from this procedure. The procedure may be applied to individuals that are bothered by the appearance of an elongated upper lip, who may appreciate the change imparted by the lip lift and who are accepting of the associated scar. In appropriate patients, results following a lip lift can be natural appearing.
