Question

Wanting fuller lips and better proportion lower face ratio, while also fixing my gummy smile and uneven lip corners. I have used botox and fillers in the past however after a long term surgical solution. I will have veneers soon and they can shave my gums, however I feel that gum shaving doesnt acheive fuller lips or fix my lower face ratio. What is an approx price for the lip lift and recovery? 45 yo female candidate who has had rhinoplasty, cheek implants and buccal fat removal.

A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. The procedure takes about 1 hour to perform under local anesthesia and costs $3,000.

first of all thanks for the pics. see either u should go for fillers to enhance volume of your lips and thereby reducing your gummy smile. u can also combine it with botox to reduce the gummy smile. if u do not want any of these options, then u should go for fat grafting surgery to give more volumisation and improve your lower face ratio.
