30 y/o interested in lip lift. Would a vermillion border lift help me achieve my desired look? (photo)

Question

I scheduled a consult with a doctor in NY who said I’m a good candidate for a Vermilion border lip lift. I have a short distance between my nose and lip so I am NOT a candidate for a subnasal lift. Can you please give some advice? I know there can be a scar associated with this procedure I am 30 years old. The top photo is my lips with filler and bottom photo is my dream lip shape. Appreiciate your advice!

Jeffrey Lisiecki, MD · Answer

Tough to say without full views of the area, but remember that a vermillion lip lift leaves you with a permanent scar, which can sometimes be problematic or visible. The biggest thing I see in your current photo versus your goal photo is your lip filler. You have filler migration in the upper lip, and its hard to tell what the shape of either lip is without filler. Based on your photos and stated goal, I would recommend dissolving your filler and assessing your lip shape, potentially refilling, and saving such an operation for only if it was necessary.
