Lip Lift Surgery
The bullhorn lip lift shortens the upper lip through an incision in the crease under the nose, for a permanent, natural lift.
Lip lift surgery in New York with Dr. Leonard Grossman permanently shortens a long upper lip, revealing more of the pink lip and upper teeth for a younger, balanced smile. He most often uses the bullhorn lip lift, with the scar hidden in the crease beneath the nose, and performs it at his Brooklyn surgery center. He also offers lip augmentation with filler when volume, not length, is the issue.
Surgical and non-surgical ways Dr. Grossman shapes the upper lip, from a permanent lift to lip augmentation.

Lip augmentation with Juvederm, Volbella, Restylane or Revanesse, including the Russian technique for height, in about 5 to 10 minutes.
As we age the upper lip lengthens, so it looks thinner and hides the upper teeth; some people are simply born with a long upper lip. Lip filler adds volume but cannot shorten it. Dr. Leonard Grossman’s bullhorn lip lift shortens the philtrum through an incision beneath the nose, permanently raising the upper lip. The incision follows the natural contour of the nostrils and is designed to minimize scarring. Shortening it by only a few millimeters often transforms the smile, and filler can still be added later.

Lip lift fees vary significantly by location and by patient, so there is no posted fee. Dr. Grossman quotes each lip lift individually after examining your upper lip, since the plan depends on your anatomy and on whether anything is combined with it. When comparing, keep in mind that a lip lift is usually a one-time surgery, while lip filler typically needs touch-ups every 6 to 12 months. Financing options are available.
