Bullhorn lift: upper lip shortening for a balanced profile
An increased distance between the nose and upper lip, a lack of lip curvature, or a barely defined vermilion border can make the face appear older, tired, or less balanced.
A bullhorn lift, also known as an upper lip lift, is a small yet effective procedure that shortens the upper lip and enhances the vermilion, without the use of fillers.
What does a bullhorn lift do?
- The upper lip is shortened, the distance to the nose is balanced
- More of the vermilion becomes visible — without adding artificial volume
- The lip gains greater definition and subtle forward fullness (eversion)
- If needed, asymmetries or downturned corners of the mouth can be corrected
- The teeth become slightly visible again at rest, contributing to a more youthful, open appearance
When does the procedure make sense?
- For a long-looking upper lip with little visible lip red
- When fillers do not achieve a satisfactory effect
- If the front teeth are not visible (e.g. when smiling)
- As a permanent alternative to lip injections
- For patients who want a natural contour instead of volume

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Will a scar remain visible?
The incision is made exactly in the natural crease at the entrance to the nose – after healing, the scar is usually barely noticeable.
Can I still use filler if I want more volume later?
Yes – a bullhorn lift does not rule out subsequent treatments with hyaluronic acid, but it usually reduces the need significantly.
Will my nose change as a result of the procedure?
No – with the correct technique, only the upper lip is lifted, without pulling on the nose.
How long does the result last?
The result is permanent – the shortened lip remains stable in its new position even after years.
