21 Years Old with a Horrible Smile That I Can't Take Anymore

I had braces so my teeth are nice and pretty you just can't see them. It hurts my self confidence and I just want to be able to smile. With a smile I could have a completely different life. I believe my upper lip is too long and I think a lip lift would work perfectly for me. It's almost fine when I don't smile or hold my mouth a certain way but if I close my mouth to where my teeth touch it looks bad also.

How long is ur philtrum?
October 19, 2016
I never measured it but with the somewhat ruler I have right now it looks to be over 20mm.

You should get an accurate measurement. It is easy to do with a ruler. depending on How long it is , it should be brought down to 15 - 16 mm.

You have a long philtrum. Just get an upper lip lift. It will look great. You are a handsome guy

I know nothing about the procedure so I'm here trying to learn. Is the scarring surely going to happen? And does the procedure need to be repeated years down the line? Thanks!

It should not have to be repeated but this area does get longer as people age. If you look at pictures of your parents when they were young as apposed to now, look to see if you notice a difference with the space in between upper lip and nose. Before my lip lift I looked at pictures of me at age 20 and notices a big difference at age 44.

You will have a scar, but depending upon the surgeons skill and how well you heal is how bad the scar will be. Be VERY careful if you decide to do this as there are only a handful of surgeons who do this well. Ask for before and after pictures of patients and ask how many have they done. They should have a lot of pictures. In my opinion they should have done hundreds and I know of only one who has done thousands of lip lifts. This is a specialty type of procedure and difficult to find a good surgeon as most plastic surgeons do not do lip lifts. You are very young and you are attractive. I think this is something you should think about and not rush into.

Before getting a lip lift, have your bite checked. Your back teeth might be too short. If they are cappped, it might change the entire proportion of your face.

@khalidsuxx: You were clearly never taught that if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

You are definitely a handsome guy with what I find to be just a manly smile/lower face but I can understand your want for a lip lift (heck I did it against the critique of most people). I say get a few Doc opinions and check out other people's experiences. From what I've seen a well-done lip lift can definitely give more tooth show and even reshape the lips/smile. Best wishes :)
