I need lip lift as I have an extra long philtrum with nearly 0 tooth snow. However, the bullhorn scar, in my opinion, looks awful 99% of the time. I know of the Italian lip lift procedure and this seems more reasonable since the scar is tucked in the nostrils but most drs don't seem to perform them and I've only been able to find a few online photos. However, is there any sort of internal procedure to lift the lip? Something could be accomplished in the inner mouth above the front teeth?

Answer: Lip Lift scar Hi,Some people market a scarless lip lift but the results are very limited. In order to give you a meaningful result, a bullhorn lip lift is your best options. Regarding scarring, there is a classic selection bias. We tend to notice poorly healed scars and assume everyone will heal in a similar way; however, there are many patients who have had a similar procedure with well healed scars that we simply don't see or notice. The early recovery of a lip lift will test your resolve because there is pronounced swelling and the incision will look raised and red but when done properly leave a very favorable scar.Best,

Answer: No and Yes No, there is no good lip lift done from inside the mouth. You'd still have all the extra skin on the outside. We do our lip lift often inside the nostrils where the incision is very well hidden. You also have a good crease where your nose and lips meet which make you a favorable candidate.
