If you're considering performing lip lift surgery, it's crucial to recognize which lips might pose challenges, especially for those new to the procedure.

One such example is the M-shaped lip, characterized by its tightness and lack of soft Vermilion. These lips resist lifting and can cause complications with fillers, often leading to migration.

It's essential to manage expectations, as these lips will never resemble fuller, more voluminous lips like those of Angelina Jolie.

A conservative approach, possibly combined with V-Y plasty, is recommended, but inexperienced surgeons should refer these cases to specialists in lip lifts.
