I am a mid 20s male with a long philtrum and low tooth show. I am satisfied with the size and shape of my upper lip, which is why I have not gotten a lip lift. Is there a lip lift technique that can increase toothshow and reduce philtrum length while minimizing the change to the upper vermilion?

Answer: Lip Lift procedure. Thank you for your question and photos. The best way to shorten your philtrum and increase tooth show is with a nasal base lip lift. This procedure will remove excess skin at the base of your nose, shortening your nasal to vermillion length. This has a high patient satisfaction, and the scar is well hidden in the nasal crease.

I'm sure you've mostly seen the classic "bullhorn" technique which would alter the amount of pink lip shown, which is what you want to avoid. However, there are other techniques that those of us experienced in lip lifts, could discuss with you to achieve your desired outcome.
