Lip lift Before & After Photos

This African-American woman in her 20s wanted a conservative Lip lift to raise her upper lip so that her lips would be fuller.

Dr. Rodriguez performed an Upper lip lift (Bullhorn lip lift) on this 38-year-old patient. He excised a small amount of skin from the base of the nose which lifted the lip slightly. The final measurement of the space between the base of the nose and the top border of the upper lip was 1.0 cm (10 mm).

The Lip lift lifts the upper lip such that the patient has a more pleasing expression. The original pre-op distance from the vermillion border to the nose was 1.8 cm (18 mm), and the final post-op measurement was 1.2 cm (12 mm).
