If I get a lip lift, will I show my teeth too much? I have 15 millimeters. (Photo)

lovecraftibzJul 10, 2018
Hello, I want to perform a lift of the upper lip. I have 15 millimeters and I want to keep exactly the shape of my lip. But I'm afraid, if I already show my teeth, will I show them too much? I do not want to get a "squirrel look" or a "doll mouth". On the other hand, I have a little pendant columella. After the intervention, will the columella go down? How many millimeters would you cut? Thank you so much, and sorry, my english is quite poor.

Hello roshambLip 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.
