Bad candidate for Lip Lift - what to do from here? (photos)

cowboykarlosFeb 3, 2022
My philtrum length is 13 mm but i feel it is too long for my face. I have a very short nose and i was hoping a lip lift would help to disguise the look of my long philtrum/short nose. the only problem is, i already have quite a toothy smile and my teeth are very visible when i smile/ talk. i've had a lip flip and enjoyed the results, but i want something long term. would my best bet be to get a nose-lengthening rhinoplasty? or is it possible to get a lip lift without having increased toothshow?

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

Thank you for the question. You do not have any of the features of aging. On the contrary, your upper lip is youthful and aesthetic, and a lip lift would ruin this. I hope this helps. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic...
