What is a Bullhorn Lip Lift?
The Bullhorn Lip Lift is a surgical cosmetic procedure that helps augment the lips and broaden the smile. It works by reducing the space between the upper lip and nostrils. As a result, the candidate achieves a refreshed and youthful appearance.
This lip lift is one of the most popular cosmetic facial treatments, also known as the sub nasal lift. During the procedure, an expert makes a hidden incision right under the nose. Moreover, he/she will raise the skin to increase the amount of lip shown. However, unlike a Gullwing Lip Lift, the scarring is not as visible in Bullhorn Lip Lift. As a result, the lips become augmented and lifted.
Candidacy Criteria
To become the ideal candidates for Bullhorn Upper Lip Lift Dubai, individuals must have:
- thin or flat lips
- asymmetrical lips
- longer upper lip
- excessive distance between upper lip and nose
- god physical and psychological health
Pre-Procedure Care
Since Bullhorn Lip Lift is a surgical procedure, candidates need to prepare their bodies for the surgery. Generally, an expert provides pre-procedure guidelines based on each candidate’s requirements. However, some general instructions are as follows:
- Stop taking blood-thinning and acne medications for at least 10-15 days before the procedure.
- Only use the prescribed antiviral or antibiotics.
- Do not drink or eat anything for at least 6 hours before the procedure.
- Remove any lip piercings before going for the procedure.
- Do not apply any skincare products or lipsticks on the day of the procedure.
Procedure
The procedure of Bullhorn Lip Lift generally takes about 45 minutes to complete. Usually, it is performed under local anesthesia because it is a surgical procedure.
The step-by-step procedure is as follows:
- Before beginning the procedure, the surgeon cleanses the skin around the lips.
- After cleansing, he/she administers local anesthesia to the lips to avoid any discomfort or pain during the procedure.
- Once the skin numbs, he/she uses a specialized tool to make an incision under the nose in the shape of a bullhorn. An expert surgeon makes this incision in such a way that it hides under the shadowed crease beneath the nose.
- Then, he/she will remove a tiny strip of skin tissue and tighten the muscles which will provide a Subtle Lip Lift.
- Lastly, he/she will raise the upper lip to a new elevated position. Moreover, he/she will also close the incision with sutures.
Post-Procedure Care
Bullhorn Lip Lift is a surgical procedure; therefore, it requires careful aftercare to avoid complications and achieve optimum results.
- Avoid engaging in strenuous activities for at least 1-2 weeks after the procedure.
- Clean the incisions daily with a prescribed disinfectant.
- Do not move the lips unnecessarily and control facial movements.
- In the beginning, only consume soft foods and gradually resume a regular diet.
- Do not apply lipsticks and other lip products for a few days.
Recovery and Results
After the Bullhorn Lip Lift procedure, candidates experience swelling and soreness around the lips. Usually, swelling subsides within two weeks, but candidates can speed it up by using prescribed medications. Besides medications, they can also use cold compresses and ice packs.
Generally, candidates can resume their regular activities within 24 hours, but sutures are removed after 5 days. Besides the swelling and discomfort, the recovery period is smooth and uneventful.
The results become noticeable when the treated area is healed completely. However, the Bullhorn Lip Lift enhances the upper lip more than the lower lip. So, most people combine it with Filler Injections to get a Lower Lip Lift as well.
