Bullhorn (upper lip plastic surgery)

Bullhorn lip lift is a plastic surgical procedure aimed at elevating the upper lip, shortening the distance between the nose and the lip, and improving lip contour. The procedure allows the lips to appear fuller and more expressive without the use of injectable fillers, creating a naturally lifted effect.

When is a bullhorn lip lift indicated?

• An elongated distance between the nose and the upper lip, making facial features less expressive.
• A thin upper lip that has lost volume with age.
• The desire to achieve a more lifted and well-defined lip contour.
• When the upper lip appears flat or is hidden when smiling.
• When natural lip enhancement is desired without fillers.

How is the procedure performed?

1. Surgeon consultation – facial anatomy is evaluated and the optimal surgical technique is selected.
2. Anesthesia – local anesthesia is used.
3. Creation of a new lip contour – the surgeon makes a small incision under the nose, removes a strip of skin, and lifts the upper lip.
4. Tissue fixation and cosmetic suturing – sutures are placed within the natural skin fold under the nose.
5. Recovery – swelling and redness usually subside within 1–2 weeks.
