Hi, I've always had very thin lips and a pronounced space between my nose and lips. I was wondering if a bullhorn lip lift would help or if it would just make me look unnatural. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Answer: Lip lift surgery It appears that the distance between your nose and lip is greater than 11-13 mm and you would benefit from a lip lift surgery. In this surgery, the central portion of the lip is elevated (by removing skin) providing increased exposure of the "pink" portion of the lip and possibly exposing more of your front teeth. Shortening the distance between your lip and nose will provide a more youthful appearance to your lip. Results are generally excellent, and the incision is well hidden beneath the nose.

Answer: Lip Lift Good day! Thank you for providing a photo with your query. Ask your doctor about lip shortening which has small incisions placed at the base of the nose under the nostrils. This shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip and will also allow the lip to “roll out”, creating a more pouty look. Find a board-certified plastic surgeon that has extensive experience with your case and discuss realistic goals and expectations. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Answer: Lip Lift A lip lift could definitely help. But, keep in mind that your philtrum is long and wide and that might make your incision more conspicuous. You can always start with a filler to see how you like that look first before a more permanent solution, though sometimes the effect is different between fillers and lip lift.
