My mouth is very wide when I smile, other than a lip lift are there fillers to help with this? I would like my teeth to show more and I do not want veneers. I am worried about my age and scaring or widening of the nose. Is this advisable? I was quoted $5300 and thats including follow up appointments.
Answer: Lip lift?? Having done this surgery for 45 years, I think your lips are beautiful and need NO lip lift now. Even though the risks are very low-even done by a very experienced surgeon they can occur.

Answer: Lip Lift Candidate 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.

Answer: Lip lift Unfortunately, you have not provided a photograph in repose with your jaw relaxed and mouth slightly open. However, 15 mm is slightly longer than normal, which is usually 12 to 14 mm. Scarring can occur with the operation but the scars are well hidden within the nose-face junction, inside the nostril and at the base of the columella. You are a borderline case. The cost is $3,000 in Houston, Texas.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Lip Fillers -- Juvederm Ultra/Ultra Plus/Volbella/Voluma, Restylane Silk/Lyft, Belotero, Fat Injections, Lip Lift I think you are a fine candidate for fillers, threads, or botox to. the area. Lip lifts can change the look of your face and you already have a pretty short philtrum, but it is always an option. Lip plumper should be used daily too (see link). Best, Dr. emer.

Answer: Liplift? At first blush, it would seem that you do not need this procedure. I use the amount of incisor dental show as well as measurement ratios of the lower third of the face to determine the appropriateness. Obviously, the patient's goals are also considered. An in-person vs. virtual online consultation is always a better way to evaluate something like this.
