Permanent lip fillers contraindication for lip lift?

Neat320721Apr 2, 2024
I have had pms silicone oil injected in my lips in 2006. and now I want a bullhorn liplift, but the cosmetic surgeon I went to for a consult told me it can’t be done because I have permanent fillers in my lips and it’s a contraindication for it. Is this always the case? And are there any other doctors who don’t mind performing a liplift when there are fillers in the lip. I also don’t have any compilations with the filler and they are also not migrated.

Permanent lip fillers are not a contra-indication 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.

I'm not sure what it is that you don't like about your lower face either. I do however, think that a lip lift would look nice, giving you more "Pink Show" of your upper lip.
