Would I be a good candidate for a lip lift and rhinoplasty? (Photo)

a_schwartzJul 19, 2022
Hello! I just got lip filler (1 syringe) about a week ago and I am loving the results. I was wondering however if a lip lift would be a better permanent procedure for me. My ultimate goal is to balance out my profile and I have a very small/thin upper lip. I plan on getting a rhinoplasty in December (correct over projection and dorsal hump) and wanted to know if I was a good candidate for a lip lift as well. I got a chin implant last December as well.

It is normal and youthful to see 3-4 mm of tooth show at rest. I would recommend a traditional lip lip to allow for 11-13 mm of lip length. In the profile photo, it appears that you have a deep mentolabial fold. That usually means that your lower facial height is short. You might also benefit...

You would be a candidate for a lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

The changes from a lip lift surgery are permanent. Generally, the smile is unchanged after surgery. Most patients show the same amount of teeth smiling after surgery as before surgery.
