Bullhorn Lip Lift – Everything You Need to Know About Upper Lip Enhancement
The Bullhorn Lip Lift is a modern surgical procedure that subtly lifts the upper lip, giving the face a youthful and harmonious appearance. In our clinic, we specialize in this precise procedure, offering lasting results that enhance your natural beauty. Learn what this procedure entails, its benefits, and why it’s an ideal solution for both younger and older individuals.
What Is a Bullhorn Lip Lift?
The Bullhorn Lip Lift is a procedure that shortens the distance between the upper lip and the base of the nose (the philtrum). We make a precise incision just below the nose, shaped like bull horns – hence the name “bullhorn.” This ensures the scar is discreet and hidden in the natural folds of the skin. The result is a lifted upper lip, revealing more of the vermilion (lip’s red portion) and subtly rejuvenating the face.
Unlike fillers, our procedure offers permanent results. It’s an ideal solution for those seeking fuller lips or aiming to reverse signs of aging, such as an elongated philtrum or loss of lip definition.
Who Is the Bullhorn Lip Lift For?
In our clinic, we perform the Bullhorn Lip Lift for patients of various ages, as the procedure is versatile and tailored to individual needs. We particularly recommend it for individuals who:
- Notice an elongated philtrum with age, making the lips appear thinner.
- Desire a permanent improvement in lip appearance without regular filler treatments.
- Feel their upper lip is too flat or disproportionate.
- Seek natural facial rejuvenation.
- Have realistic expectations and desire a harmonious result.
The procedure is especially beneficial for mature patients looking to counteract signs of aging. As we age, we lose volume in the mid-face, and the Bullhorn Lip Lift restores youthful proportions, adding freshness and harmony to facial features – without an artificial look.

How Is the Bullhorn Lip Lift Performed?
At our clinic, the Bullhorn Lip Lift is a quick and precise procedure, typically lasting 30–60 minutes. It is performed under local anesthesia, with the option of general anesthesia for added comfort. The procedure includes:
- Consultation: We discuss your expectations and plan the procedure to achieve the ideal outcome.
- Incision: A discreet incision is made under the nose, removing a small amount of skin.
- Lip lift: The philtrum is shortened, lifting the lip and revealing more of the vermilion.
- Wound closure: We use delicate, dissolvable sutures.
Thanks to our precise technique, the scar is minimal, and the result looks natural.
Recovery After a Bullhorn Lip Lift
The recovery period after a Bullhorn Lip Lift typically lasts 1–2 weeks. In the first few days, you may experience swelling or mild tightness, which quickly subsides. Full results are visible after a few months, once the scar fully smooths out.
To support healing, we recommend:
- Avoiding strenuous activity for 2–3 weeks.
- Gentle facial hygiene to prevent irritation.
- Using prescribed healing ointments as advised by our team.
- Protecting the scar from sun exposure to avoid discoloration.
Most patients return to work within a week and enjoy the full effect of the procedure after 4–6 weeks.
Is the Bullhorn Lip Lift Safe?
At our clinic, the Bullhorn Lip Lift is performed by experienced surgeons, ensuring safety and precision.
One of the doctors performing the lip lift at our clinic, Dr. Piotr Rak, states, “The risk of complications, such as infections or visible scarring, is minimal if patients follow our post-procedure recommendations. We conduct a thorough qualification process before each procedure to ensure it is suitable for the patient.”
