Can I have threads placed through the philtrum vertically for a non surgical lip lift effect? (photo)

Question

I have a long philtrum. I know threads can be placed on vermillion border for a lip flip but I want more tooth show and support the upper lip. Can I have threads placed through the philtrum vertically (from lip up to nose) for a non surgical lip lift effect?

George Marosan, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and photo. A non- surgical lip lift with threads will not hold or create a desirable lift. You are a good candidate for a "bullhorn" lip lift procedure. This is done under local anesthesia with a nerve block and the scar is hidden within the nostrils and laterally in the alar groove. This will give you long term desirable results.

See a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in these procedures. Good luck.
