Can I receive a lip lift to raise my mouth? (Photo)

Question

Im doing research on cosmetic surgery, and want to raise my lips/mouth. without a chin implant, can i use a lip lift to raise my overall mouth. like shortening the philtrum, but also increasing the distance between my mouth and chin as seen in the pictures.

Elizabeth Wick, MD · Answer

The short answer to your questions is that a lip lift is the best treatment to shorten the philtrum&mdash; lifting the middle 2/3rd of the upper lip. 
Filler is more appropriate for changing the the generalized shape of the lip or lifting the corners of your mouth. A chin implant is best to permanently increase the projection of a “weak chin” (as viewed from the side). 
I mention this as the most direct answer because ultimately no single treatment will transfer the entire mouth upward as you’ve demonstrated in your picture. For your best results, I recommend that you seek the evaluation of an expert in facial plastic and cosmetic surgery in your area! Good luck.
