I have a pretty long philtrum, 18mm, and I really want my face to look more balanced. Some pictures I’ve seen of people who have gotten lip lifts have shown no scarring whatsoever, but I’m a little bit concerned that because of the shape of my nose, the scar will be visible. Are there certain things I could do/apply to a scar to get rid of it? Thanks.
Answer: Am I a good lip lift candidate? Thank you for sharing your excellent question. It would be useful to see pictures of you smiling to give the best advice but as you appear young, and your overall lip proportions are appropriate I would counsel against any current surgery and consider nonsurgical options like dermal fillers.

Answer: HIDEF Scar Revision for lip lifts includes fractional laser, fractional RF, IIT, scar revision, and selective hyfrecation Lip lift scars can be white and visible. Hidef protocols can help with visible lip lift scars on the face. I see a lot of these in my office in Beverly Hills. Surgery is often not needed if lasers and HIDEF scar revision techniques are introduced.

Answer: Candidate for a Lip Lift Thank you for your question and photo. From the image, it appears you would be a good candidate for a lip lift. This procedure would shorten the distance between the upper lip and base of the nose. At the same time, it would increase the mucosa of the upper lip, which would likely be a nice look for you. The only incision for a lip lift is located at the base of the nose and usually results in minimal visible scarring. Make sure you work with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can customize this treatment to your precise needs to ensure an optimal outcome.

Answer: Lip Lift There are surgical and non-surgical approaches to lip augmentation. Non-surgical approaches include botox (slight lift, reducing gum show) and filler (volume restoration). Surgically, you can have two separate incisions under the nose (italian), one incision under the nose (bull horn), one incision at the red/white upper lip junction (gull wing) or two separate incision at the corners, or a combination, depending on your desired look and anatomy. My preferred surgical technique is called the Elelyft, which is a version of the bullhorn approach.

Answer: Lip lift You are an excellent candidate for lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increase the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. The scar is hidden at the nose-lip junction and inside the nostril.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Lip lift vs. fillers Based on this photo you may be a borderline candidate for a lip lift. I would suggest first doing subtle lip augmentation with filler before committing yourself to surgery. Good luck.
