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: Would a Lip Lift Help the Appearance of a Long Philtrum? Thank you for your question. The Lip Lift procedure isperformed to accentuate the size and/or shape of the upper lip by removing skinfrom the region underneath the nose (the philtrum). As the distance is decreased between thenose and the lip, the red lip is 'lifted'. In appropriate individuals,shortening this distance may impart or restore a more favorable balance to lipsand face. This procedure could help to decrease the pronounced space that youreference between your nose and lips.

Answer: Will a Bullhorn Lip Lift Enhance My Lips Without Looking Unnatural? A bullhorn lip lift can be an excellent option for those looking to enhance the appearance of their lips, particularly if you have a pronounced space between the nose and lips. This procedure removes a small strip of skin from the area just beneath the nostrils, lifting the upper lip and creating a more defined, fuller look. It can help improve lip shape and overall facial harmony, especially if your lips are thin. When done by an experienced surgeon, the results can look very natural, enhancing your features without making them appear exaggerated. If you’re concerned, it’s always a good idea to consult with a skilled specialist who can assess your facial proportions and discuss the best options for your desired outcome.

Answer: Lip Augmentation Results with Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella), NovaThreads, Fat Grafting, Implants Thank you for your question! You would get a nice improvement with lip fillers. Volbella, Restylane, and Juvederm are good to create a symmetrical lip. NovaThreads can be used to improve lift and shape. Implants or fat are alternatives. Technique will be important here, so you'll want to see someone meticulous. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

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.
