Lip Lift Q&A

I'm 7 months PO from a lip lift that has caused me to have a constant open mouth with a bugs bunny look. I am able to make my lips meet if I consciously push them together but in my normal relaxed state my mouth appears open with only my two front teeth showing. Its as if my lip goes out and not down. I also had a DPFL at the same time which caused nerve damage causing me not to be able to smile, this has mostly resolved itself. My surgeon has suggested a corner lip lift so that it doesn't look so bad but I'm reluctant to have even more lip taken away. Is there anything else that can be done to fix this? I have had 2ml of botox put into the two muscles that run down from my nose and this has helped a small amount.

I would like to have a lip lift but was told by a doctor I was not a good candidate due to having an upturned nose and being able to see inside my nostrils. In searching photos, I don't really see before/after pictures of people with upturned noses and am wondering if this is true? I am also wondering if there is a procedure that can be performed within the mouth so that there are no external scars?

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 havent quite gotten the results Im looking for. My last injection experience wasnt great. I dont 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.

Can this be done with Local anesthesia ?

Is it advisable to get a lip lift when there is filler in my lips, or would it be better to wait until the filler has been absorbed?

Ive been wanting to get a lip lift , but in so many before and after photos I see the nostrils look more flared and the nasal base looks wider. Nose looks so puffy & swollen. Why does lip lift affect the nose like that?

I've had 4 rhinoplasties and at some point it's possible I'll need another closed revision. The skin is extremely thin and the surgeon has said the tissue underneath is damaged. There is even a little area that's a bit white from a blood flow issue. Would it be safe for me to have a lip lift (I'm not talking about with a rhinoplasty at the same time, I just mean at all). Or would that compromise the nose even more? Thank you

I want to have a lip lift done along with a rhinoplasty. I had a rhinoplasty before around 2014 just to remove a dorsal hump, however I still feel like my nose is too big. Can the lip lift and rhinoplasty be done together?

I am very self conscious about my lopsided smile flat smile due to fat loss. Would i be a good candidate for a lip lift ? Or would another procedure be better ? Any advisee would be very much appreciated.

Had a lip lift October of 2024. Within 4 or 5 months, it started drooping. It has been almost 8 months now and the philtrum length is between 19 - 20 mm. The length was 20 mm to start! I wanted 7mm removed. The surgeon felt 5 was more appropriate. When it was first done, I was happy with it, even if it wasn't as much as I would have liked. Is it possible to do again? or too soon to do again?
