Exposed teeth and lip lift. Should I be worried about the procedure exposing my teeth even more?

Question

I have some distance from my nose to mouth and I want to get lip lift. However my front teeth are pretty exposed as is and I dont know if getting the procedure will make the teeth expose even more. Is that something I should worry about?

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

A lip lift may result in increased upper teeth visibility. You should consult with a plastic surgeon to discuss your options including alternatives and risks,

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs.  However, 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.  If you are worried about teeth show then a lip lift may not be for you.

Best Wishes,

Hello, I do not recommend lip lift to my patients, which we call gummy smile, when their gums appear when they smile. However, it is necessary to check beforehand, if only your teeth are visible and how this contributes to your appearance after lip lift,. It would be more accurate to say my opinion only after seeing you and your smile.
