Abstract:
The male upper lip has a distinctly longer cutaneous height from the nasal base to the upper vermilion border than its female counterpart. The subnasal indirect lip lift using the bullhorn technique or its modifications allows for shortening of this height to feminize the lower face, creating a more aesthetically pleasing upper lip secondary to increased vermilion height and lip pout. Patient selection is critical, taking into account lip height, vermilion height, alar base width, skin type, upper incisal show, and maxillary height. Precise measurements, controlled excision of the planned resection, and meticulous reapproximation of skin provide an aesthetic result, while minimizing visible scarring.
