Bullhorn Lip Lift

Introduction

A Bullhorn Lip Lift, also known as a lip lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the shape of the lips by lifting them closer to the nose. This creates a more defined cupid’s bow, an uplifted and plumper look, and improves the appearance of your smile by exposing more of your teeth.

Our specialist Consultant Surgeon, Mr Ian Morgan, is highly experienced in delivering natural yet transformative results, ensuring subtle enhancements that restore balance and harmony to your facial features. Whether you’re looking to achieve more shapely lips or wish to reverse signs of ageing, such as a downward lip appearance and loss of volume, this procedure can help restore a youthful, confident smile.

Procedure

A Bullhorn Lip Lift is a surgical procedure performed under local anaesthetic to reshape and enhance the lips. An incision is made just beneath the nose, where a small strip of skin and muscle is removed. This technique shortens the philtrum (the space between the nose and upper lip), resulting in a natural lifting effect that enhances the shape and volume of the lips.

Important

After your Bullhorn Lip Lift at Neo Medical, following proper post-operative care is essential for achieving optimal results and a smooth recovery. Mild swelling, bruising, and tenderness around the upper lip and nose area are expected in the first few days. Keeping your head elevated while resting and applying cold compresses as advised can help reduce swelling and discomfort. It is important to avoid excessive lip movements, stretching, or pursing your lips during the initial healing phase to prevent unnecessary strain on the incision site.

Strenuous activities should be avoided for the recommended recovery period to allow the tissues to heal properly. Eating soft foods and maintaining gentle oral hygiene will help prevent irritation to the treated area. The incision is discreetly placed under the nose and will gradually fade over time. Following scar care instructions, such as keeping the area clean and avoiding direct sun exposure, will promote optimal healing and minimise visible scarring.

Attending scheduled follow-up appointments will allow our team to monitor your recovery and address any concerns. Results will become more apparent as swelling subsides, revealing a more defined and lifted lip shape. If you experience any unusual symptoms, such as excessive swelling, severe pain, or signs of infection, it is important to seek prompt medical attention.

At Neo Medical, we are dedicated to providing expert care and guidance throughout your recovery, ensuring you achieve natural, beautiful, and long-lasting results from your Bullhorn Lip Lift.
