Would I benefit from a 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. 
The ideal candidate for the Elelyft, or upper lip lift, is someone with a philtral length of 15mm or longer, no upper dental show, and/or a thin upper lip. The nasal base to mouth width ratio needs to be taken into consideration to avoid leaving the lip corners down. In your situation, the philtrum can be shortened and the upper teeth would then become more exposed and the upper lip more robust. 
Consult with an experienced lip surgeon for a complete range of options that are appropriate for your situation.

Unfortunately, you have not provided measurements but the average length is between 12-15 millimeters.  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 may be an excellent candidate for this procedure.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

thank you for your picture! I guess the better question would be what are you looking to achieve from your lip lift.  Truth be told we can shorten just about anyone's philtrum - that doesn't mean we should.  I personally look at a couple parameters when determining from my end whether or not to do a lip lift, and one of those is certainly personal goals as depending on what you are looking to achieve I can curtail what modifications are done during the lip lift to get you there.  Watching you talk/smile/laugh etc are important as well.  I recommend you go on a couple consults to get an idea as to what is doable, etc.  I hope some of this helps! Best of luck.
