Am I a good candidate for a Bullhorn Lip Lift? (photos)

Question

I have always hated my top lip. I have dabbled with lip flips and dermal fillers but it is expensive in the long run and I haven’t quite gotten the results I’m looking for. My last injection experience wasn’t great. I don’t really want volume, just a larger top lip. Am I a good candidate? Do you recommend a time frame in which to wait before having this procedure if you have lip filler? I currently am going on almost a year without filler. Thank you! Your time and input is greatly appreciated.

If it is just a syringe in the lips you don't need to wait or have it dissolved.  However, it is easy to dissolve with Vitrase if necessary.  The lip lift will make the top lip look bigger -- so it may be the perfect procedure for you.

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.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

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. It appears you would be a candidate for a lip lift. Since your last filler was a year ago that should not be a problem.
