My teeth already show a lot. Can I still get a lip lift?

Question

I have always wanted a lip lift because my philtrum is too long. It's the main issue with my face, so i would really like to have it corrected if possible. The problem is I already have quite a lot of tooth show. Is there any way I can still get a lip lift?

Andrea Marando, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question and for the photographs. I agree that your philtrum is slightly long and therefore the procedure of lip lift would be able to help. However it is also true that the very aggressively flipped my lead to excessive showing of your teeth.  It would be helpful to see a photograph with you smiling and ideally a video to examine the dynamics of your smile.

I believe that a balanced approach would be the best way forward and therefore make sure that the surgeon you will decide to use has an extensive experience in the procedure of lip lift.

All the best
