Hello, I recently had a lip lift and 6mm were removed (my philtrum lengh was initially 22mm) now my philtrum is 16mm but I feel like it's still long and I am wondering if I could do another one like a revision to remove another 3 or 4 mm without looking weird or without having too much teeth show. Any advice would be highly appreciated

Answer: Revision Yes, additional skin can be removed if you desire. It is not surprising that your surgeon didn't remove too much at one time, as I am conservative as well because once it's removed you cannot put it back. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Revision Lip Lift Hello, hope you are well. In my opinion, you have a nice result from your primary lip lift. It looks very natural, the scar is favorable, and the lip proportions and dental show are good. If you remove another 3-4mm, I think there is a real risk that you may be unhappy with the result for the potential reasons you stated. Sometimes the enemy of good is better. Best,Dr. Tower
