my philtrum isn’t that long (11-12 mm) but my upper lip is kinda droopy and barely visible, also my top teeth don’t show when i open my mouth and when talking.

Thank you for your question. Yes, you can combine them, but I prefer the result that the bullhorn lip lift offers over the V-Y. I would certainly only do one at a time to minimize the risk of overcorrection. In general, cost will vary depending mainly on location, with surgeons in higher cost...

Thank you for your question. I would try filler, as this would add volume, making the center less prominent, as well as address asymmetry issues. Also, if it turns out you don't like the look, the filler can be dissolved. I hope that helps. All the best!

This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Upper lip lift without surgery, is it possible? (photos)

An upper lip lift is not possible without surgery. The incision is hidden at the nose-face junction and in the nostrils and columella area. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Lip lift to fix lip appearance. Will a lip lift balance the look of my lips?

You have an issue with your bone structure not your lip. However, you can do upper lip filler and chin filler to help the look of your lip balance. If you want a more dramatic look, you need maxillofacial surgery. Best, Dr. Emer.
