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?

Answer: Lip Filler for 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...
The distance between your nose and upper lip appears to be quite long. 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. You would be a candidate for a lip lift.

Asymmetry is very common. You have slight asymmetry of your lips. This can be corrected by using a lip lift on one side only to elevate a few millimeters to correct the asymmetry.
