I have seen many before and afters where some patients red portion is relatively the same size as before the procedure whilst others their red lip is a lot larger. I don't want my red lip portion larger, I just want my philtrum shortened. I measured my upper lip and on average laterally and medially its 2cm. So I would like to have a 5mm reduction medially AND laterally, is this possible?
Answer: Lifting without increasing volume Thank you for your pictures and your question! There are a couple of different ways of doing a lip lift - most do involve the lip getting a little larger with more vermillion show. However, a lip lift with muscle hem can help elevate the lip without causing eversion. There are risks involved with the muscle hem procedure - so I suggest you discuss this with a surgeon who is comfortable and familiar with this particular technique in lip lifts. I hope this helps!

Answer: Lip lift: lip lift without rolling out the red portion Hello yozzyLip lifts are minor surgical procedures that actually shorten the distance between the nose and upper lip and allow more of your central upper teeth to show both at rest and when you smile. This has sometimes been called the bullhorn procedure because of the shape. The incision at the base of the nose, just within the nostrils, tucks the muscle and shortens the skin providing a youthful upper lip in less than an hour under local anaesthetic

Answer: Specific measurements not always possible Thanks for the questionIt is not always possible to guarantee such a specific reduction. You have to take into account the swelling and scarring. Also, this might just be the photograph showing but your lip is slightly longer on one side compared to the other. Therefore, I would consider removing slightly more from one side than the other to balance this up.With the lip lift, it will pull more vermillion up and therefore it will be more visible. I hope this is of help to you BW

Answer: Bullhorn lip lift I know that it may be disappointing for you but shortening philtrum without pulling up your upper lip is not possible. We can achieve more or less dramatic result when it comes to upper lip augmentation, but it will appear larger after this surgery. This is how this surgery works.
