I have no upper teeth show when I speak or smile. My upper teeth almost disappears when I smile even tho it's big (I have lip fillers). I hate how my smile looks fake and exaggerated I am really considering a lip lift but at the same time I'm so scared that it might not turn out the way I imagined and its irreversible I want it to make me look better not worse. I don't want to ruin my face and regret my decision. Does lip lift look natural? Does it alter nose shape? Is it the right thing for me?
Answer: Will I Benefit from a lip lift Hi Sara Thank you for your question. According to your photos your lips have additional volume due to filler injection. However, the upper lip appears to be a bit "heavy" which leads to minimal dental show, even when smiling. We subdivide the distance between your nose and your lips into two parts: the skin part is called the philtre upper lip and the red part is called the labial upper lip. Whenever the philtral lip is elongated (either by DNA or due to ageing) having filler is not a great solution. Even though the labial lip gains volume, it drops due to the overall length of your upper lip. Simulating a realistic outcome of a lip lift procedure is straight forward and very easy to be done during an in-person consultation. I advise you to find an experienced lip lift surgeon to discuss your goals and fears in person. Good luck!

Answer: LIP LIFT A lip lift will have 2 effects on your appearance. It will shorten the upper lip and evert the red portion of the lip producing more show. Lip fillers may not be needed after having this procedure. You can simulate the results by lifting the upper lip with your finger. If this maneuver provides more tooth show than you may be a candidate. Lip fillers way down the lip and will decrease tooth show. Consult with a Plastic Surgeon in your area.
