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

Adventurous5247Nov 26, 2021
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?

Thank you for your question. As we age, the upper lip lengthens. A lip lift can be helpful for shortening the upper lip and improving tooth show, something that fillers alone cannot accomplish. Based on your photo, if you're looking to shorten your upper lip, a discussion with your surgeon...
