Bullhorn Liplift

A bullhorn lip lift is a cosmetic procedure that aims to improve the shape of the lips and make them appear fuller. A small section of skin is removed from under the nose to pull the lips upwards and emphasise the contour. The procedure can help to achieve a more youthful and appealing appearance without the need for fillers or other materials. The results are usually permanent and the healing time is comparatively short.

After a Bullhorn Liplift, the swelling can usually last for several days to two weeks. Most patients notice that the swelling is most severe in the first few days and then gradually decreases. After about two weeks, most of the swelling should have largely subsided, but it can take up to several months before the final result is visible.

Healing of the scar after a Bullhorn Liplift can take around 6 to 12 weeks until it is completely healed. In the first few weeks, the scar is often red and visible, but it will become paler and less noticeable over time. It is important to take good care of the scar and follow your doctor's recommendations for scar care if necessary to achieve the best possible result.

There can be many reasons for a lip lift, including
1. a more youthful appearance: Many people want a more prominent lip contour to achieve a more youthful appearance.
2. improve the shape of the lips: A lip lift can help to harmonise the shape of the lips and improve the proportions of the face.
3. elongated lips: For some people, the distance between the nose and lips may be too great, which can be corrected by a lip lift.
4 Fuller lips: The procedure can help make lips appear fuller without the use of fillers.
5. self-confidence: Many people feel more comfortable and self-confident with an emphasised lip shape.
The procedure should always be considered on an individual basis and discussed with a specialist.

A Bullhorn Liplift can result in the teeth becoming more visible, especially if the procedure lifts the lips and shortens the upper lip. Many people find this positive as it emphasises the smile and gives a more youthful appearance. However, the exact change depends on the individual anatomy and the surgeon's technique. It is important to discuss these expectations with a specialist beforehand.

Whether a Bullhorn Liplift is worthwhile depends on your individual wishes and expectations. The procedure can improve lip volume and contour and give a more youthful appearance. Many patients report increased satisfaction with their appearance after the procedure. However, it is important to have a thorough consultation with a specialist to clarify realistic expectations and discuss possible risks.

A bullhorn lip lift is usually performed as follows:
1. consultation: First, there is a detailed consultation in which wishes and expectations are discussed.
2. anaesthesia: The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia, sometimes in combination with light sedation.
3. skin removal: The surgeon removes a small strip of skin directly under the nose in the shape of a bullhorn. This removal shortens the distance between the nose and lips.
4. lip lift: the lips are lifted, making them appear fuller and more contoured.
5. suture: The wound is closed with fine sutures, which are usually removed later.
6 Healing: After the procedure, there is a healing phase during which swelling and possibly slight pain may occur.
The results are usually visible immediately and develop over a few weeks as the swelling subsides.

After a bullhorn lip lift, you should keep your lips cool for the first 48 hours to reduce swelling and avoid applying pressure to the lips. It is advisable to eat soft foods and maintain good oral hygiene to prevent infection. Intense physical activity should also be avoided for the first few weeks to aid healing.

A bullhorn lip lift should be avoided if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as the lips may change during this time. It is also better to wait with the procedure if you have certain health problems, such as poor healing conditions or active infections in the mouth area. You should also consider whether you plan to lose a significant amount of weight in the near future, as this may affect the outcome of the lip lift.

A bullhorn lip lift usually has long-lasting results as the procedure changes the structure of the lips. Many patients enjoy the changes for many years, although the results may gradually diminish somewhat over time, particularly due to natural ageing processes and changes in soft tissue. However, the exact longevity may depend on individual factors such as skin type and lifestyle.

The cost of a bullhorn lip lift varies depending on the clinic and location, but in Germany prices are generally between €2,000 and €4,000. At My Beauty Surgery, we can offer you the procedure from as little as €919. When choosing a provider, in addition to the price, the quality of the treatment and the surgeon's experience should also be taken into account.

After a bullhorn lip lift, it is important to use ice packs for the first 48 hours to reduce swelling and pain. Maintain good oral hygiene and eat soft foods to avoid putting extra strain on the lips. Avoid pressure on the lips and take painkillers and antibiotics as directed by your doctor.
