Would I be a good candidate for a upper lip lift? I’m afraid to look like a bunny after the surgery. I have aquamid in my upper lip so filler is not an alternative. I also think the distance between my lip and nose is too big.
Answer: It looks like you might be Based on your photo, it looks like you might be a good candidate for a sub-nasal (or type of bull horn) technique to shorten the distance between the base of your nose and the top of your upper lip. So long as the surgery is simple and conservative, using strong points of fixation - anchoring the skin of the upper lip to the septum cartilage - you should have good results. Of course a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is the only way to really know whether you are a good candidate. Be sure to ask a lot of questions and express your fear of looking like a bunny, too. Best wishes!

Answer: 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. Based on your photographs, I believe you would be a great candidate for the lip lift. Consult a surgeon to answer any of your questions and concerns regarding the procedure. Gary Linkov, MD Lip Specialist Manhattan

Answer: Good candidate for a lip lift? Externally, it seems you would be, but without seeing your tooth show at rest you won't be able to get good advice on what to do.

Answer: Liplift We perform many many lip lifts. Lip lift can give a very feminine and youthful mouth area. We need to see the Upper teeth with mouth slightly open to make sure you are a candidate. A consultation via Skype is helpful for more information. We see many patients from out of town for this procedure so we are happy to help. Best wishes.

Answer: Lip lift Based on this photograph it seems like you would be an excellent candidate for a lip lift. As long as the amount of lift is relatively conservative there is no reason to worry about a "bunny" look where your mouth looks permanently open. There is enough length in that segment to afford you natural looking result with the lift.
