Upper Lip Lift Suits You If…
The distance between nose and lip — and that is the thing you want changed. Your consultation confirms whether your anatomy supports it.
Filler makes the lip bigger. A lip lift makes it show more, by shortening the skin above it.
Overview
The distance between nose and lip. Lip filler: the volume of the lip itself. That is the difference that matters most, and everything below is the detail underneath it. Neither is better in the abstract — they solve different problems, and the one that suits you depends on what your assessment actually shows rather than on which sounds more advanced.
How upper lip lift compares with lip filler.
| What it changes | The distance between nose and lip | The volume of the lip itself |
|---|---|---|
| Effect on the pink lip | More of it shows, without adding volume | The lip is larger |
| Tooth show | Increased — usually the point of it | Unchanged |
| Permanence | Permanent | Nine to eighteen months |
| Best for | A long upper lip with no tooth show | A thin lip on a normal-length philtrum |
