LIP LIFT

Beautiful, full lips without the duck bill effect - that's what many women desire.

But the first step should definitely be an anamnesis of the lips, the shape of the lips and also the position of the lips. The reason is that the optical augmentation of the lips is not always related to the volume.

In some patients, the distance between the upper lip and the nose is increased either through genetic predisposition, the natural aging process or through a rhinoplasty. In these cases, a volume increase by hyaluronic acid e.g. alone is not sufficient, as it does not solve the actual problem of the relation between the lip and nose.

Certainly you can exaggerate the lip so much that the lip becomes disproportionately large and the distance appears smaller as a result. But in this case the dreaded "duck bill" effect occurs.

The Bullhorn Lift is a suitable method to specifically reduce the distance between the upper lip and the nose.

For Whom is an Neck Lift Suitable and How is it Performed?

With a bullhorn lift, a part of the skin between the nose and upper lip is being removed for reducing the distance and thus creating a lifting effect in the upper lip area.

The incision is made along the nostrils and bridge of the nose. The process with the unusual name is derived from the cutting pattern that results from the removal.

This resembles the shape of a bullhorn. With a bullhorn lift, it is essential to ensure that the underlying muscle tissue is not removed in addition to the skin and fat tissue.

A Bullhorn lift leaves a small scar which is minimally visible.

An experienced doctor measures the distance between the nose and mouth and makes an assessment of whether the scar can be hidden well by the nasal fold when the philtrum is shortened. For this reason, not every patient is suitable for this operation.
