Is there a lip lift that can give me a more prominent lip tubercle? (Photo)

Question

I LOVE Taylor Swift's lips and I almost have the same shape except I have no lip tubercle (the dangly part in the center of the top lip). Is there a lip lift that could give me a more prominent lip tubercle?

David K. Isaacs, MD, FACS · Answer

A lip lift will not necessarily give you a more prominent lip tubercle.

Filler can be carefully placed to achieve this effect.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

no surgery can create that you have to use fillers or threads to help. your anatomy is your anatomy.

lip fillers and lift will not help the corners of your mouth, that needs botox, threads or a lip corner lift.  sometimes an early face/neck lift helps. I would use daily hydration and plumping (see emeragecosmetics lip essentials kit).  everyone can do a little filler when done well really gives nice hydration and plumping.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. A lip lift is unlikely to give you the result; however, carefully placed filler would be effective for recreating the look. Best of luck to you!

A lip lift is a very popular procedure right now.  It is designed to shorten the distance from the base of the nose to the lip.  This has the effect of rolling out the upper lip slightly to increase the vermillion show.  For the effect you are describing a combination of lip lift and lip filler would be more effective than simply a lip lift

Thank you for the question. The lip lift would permanently change the appearance of your entire upper lip. Your concern is very specific and focused in one area, therefore you should try augmenting the tubercle with filler injection. I hope this helped and I wish you the best of luck.
