Am I candidate for a lip lift, meaning length from upper lip to nose? (Photo)

An upper lip lift does three things:
1. Shortens the distance of the base of the nose to the upper lip Vermilion.
2. Allows your upper teeth to be seen, which is aesthetically beneficial in most cases.
3. Everts the upper lip Vermilion (rolls it outwards) to a very minor degree. I tell my patients that if they are coming to me for an upper lip lift and expect a a good deal of added "real estate" to their upper lip, they will be disappointed. 
An upper lip lift will give you an alluring, model-type look as you see in the glossy fashion magazines. To get a complete assessment, a plastic surgeon needs to see you in person and also assess your upper lip against the backdrop of your upper teeth when your mouth is slightly parted.

Hello sarah 
This procedure may benefit younger and older patients alike. In younger patients, the procedure is typically used to avoid obtaining a plastic appearance with fillers. It is important to understand that not all lips will benefit from fillers. The lift gives the upper lip a lighter and more defined appearance with greater volume and tooth show. As you age, the upper lip loses volume and increases in length. When performed in older patients, the lift helps restore a more youthful facial balance and sensuality around the mouth. It also works wonders for improving lost lip volume as well as lipstick bleed lines and wrinkles.

I think as long as you did not violate the conservative approach of not removing more than 25% of your total philtral length, you would be a good candidate for the procedure.

The truth is that I need to see more photos of your upper lip with mouth open, closed, smiling etc or see you in person to do the assessment. Based on one photo, it appears that you may benefit from liplift but more information is needed to make a concrete plan. Schedule a consultation and we can help guide you to the right decision as we have performed a lot of these procedures. Best wishes.

Based on your photo you are a candidate for a very conservative lip lift.  Consult with a highly experienced board certified plastic surgeon for an evaluation.
