Many patients seek a lip lift after fillers fail to achieve the desired results for elongated lips. Fillers only add volume in one direction, pushing the lip down instead of lifting it.

This happens because the skin acts as a limiting factor, preventing proper elevation. Overfilling elongated lips can also result in the loss of natural tooth show, which contributes to a more attractive and approachable appearance.

For elongated lips, addressing the skin with a lip lift is the most effective solution.
