Lip Lift Elegance
Procedure
The bullhorn lift, or subnasal lip lift, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that focuses on improving the aesthetics of the upper lip. During the surgery, a small incision is made just beneath the nose, following the contour of the nostrils. Through this incision, a precise amount of skin and tissue is removed from the base of the nose, effectively lifting the upper lip. By shortening the distance between the nose and the upper lip, the procedure creates a more youthful and balanced appearance of the mouth.
Candidates
Candidates for the bullhorn lift are typically individuals who feel that their upper lip appears too long or thin, making their smile less prominent. Additionally, those who experience signs of aging around the mouth, such as sagging skin, might consider this procedure to rejuvenate their facial features.
Benefits
- Enhanced Lip Definition
The bullhorn lift enhances the definition of the upper lip, making it more visible and prominent.
- Youthful Appearance
By lifting the upper lip, the surgery can create a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing smile.
- Minimal Scarring
The incision is strategically placed beneath the nose, resulting in minimal scarring that is generally well-hidden.
- Improved Confidence

Recovery
After the procedure, patients can expect some swelling and bruising, which usually subsides within a week or two. It’s essential to follow post-operative care instructions provided by our surgeon to promote proper healing and achieve optimal results.
Risks
Like any surgical procedure, the bullhorn lift carries some risks, including infection, scarring, and dissatisfaction with the results. It’s crucial for individuals considering this surgery to consult with our board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in facial procedures to minimize these risks.
