Bullhorn Lip Lift: Enhance Your Smile with a Natural, Subtle Lift

A Bullhorn Lip Lift is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the shape of the upper lip and provide a natural lift, creating a more youthful, fuller appearance. The procedure involves removing a small, U- or V-shaped piece of skin just above the upper lip, shortening the distance between the nose and lip, resulting in a more pronounced and youthful smile. This procedure is particularly popular among individuals looking to define their lip contour and accentuate their natural smile without the need for dermal fillers. The Bullhorn Lip Lift is minimally invasive, with the incision hidden in the natural folds of the skin, ensuring that scars are virtually invisible.

 

 

How the Procedure Works

The Lip Lift is performed under local anesthesia. During the procedure, the surgeon removes a section of skin shaped like a bullhorn (hence the name), which shortens the length of the philtrum (the area between the nose and upper lip). The incision is made in the natural crease under the nose, minimizing visible scarring, which becomes less noticeable over time. The entire procedure takes approximately one hour, and patients can typically return home the same day.

Preparation for the Procedure

• Consultation: Before the procedure, you will have a detailed consultation with the surgeon to discuss your expectations, options, and potential risks associated with the surgery.

• Discontinuation of Medications: It is recommended to avoid blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin and certain anti-inflammatory drugs, for 14 days before the procedure.

• Required Tests: Laboratory tests, including a complete blood count, coagulation tests, and screening for HBS antigen and HCV antibodies, may be necessary before the surgery.

​

Recovery Process

After the surgery, you may experience mild swelling and discomfort, which usually subsides within a few days. Pain relief medications can be taken as prescribed. It is important to avoid excessive facial expressions in the first few days post-surgery and follow a liquid diet to support the healing process. Stitches are typically removed after 5-7 days. During this period, it is crucial to avoid strenuous physical activities and follow the surgeon's post-operative care instructions for wound care.
