The pink lip (vermilion) and the white lip (skin between pink lip and nose) are the two areas of concern. When the white lip appears long or excessive, it can sometimes be shortened by removal of a portion just below the nose. This is called a lip lift and is usually performed under local anesthesia and may include some light sedation. This shortens the distance between the vermilion and nose.
Hi, thanks for your question. I highly recommend that you book an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in order to discuss your goals and surgical options. It's often difficult to make an accurate assessment from a picture alone. That said, if you're looking to shorten your philtrum and create a more balanced look, while at the same making your upper lip a bit fuller, you may be a could candidate for a lip lift, which would achieve just that. As for cost, this would depend on the complexity of your case, on the surgeon performing your surgery, and on the overall cost of this type of surgery in your region.
You are an excellent candidate fora lip lift. 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. The procedure takes less than 1 hour to perform under local anesthesia and costs $3,000.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Thank you for your pictures and questions. In general, your chin and lip anatomy are variations of normal and is nothing that needs to be "corrected." That being said, if you have had any previous procedures or injectables in those areas, those are likely to blame for any asymmetry. If you have...
Hi @Guess1975. Botox in the DAO muscle is a temporary fix. The results last about 3-4 months. The injections stop the DAO muscle pulling down the corners of the mouth. Treatment will cause the corners of the mouth to be slightly lifted, giving the mouth a more relaxed, happy, youthful and...

This is a very typical situation. Many people have their lower lip fuller than their upper lip. Regardless, you can augment your upper lip to become fuller. You can use injectable fillers for your upper lip to see if you like this change. The HA filler injected into your upper lip would...
