The global market for cosmetic surgery and procedures was valued at USD 63.4 billion in 2021 and is predicted to grow at a compound annual rate of 9.6% from 2022 to 2030. This growth is attributed to the introduction of innovative aesthetic devices, which has led to an increased demand for cosmetic treatments. One such device is non-invasive body contouring systems that use fat freezing technology, which is expected to create lucrative growth opportunities. Non-invasive body fat reduction was among the top 5 non-invasive procedures performed in the U.S. in 2020 with 140,314 procedures done, according to the Aesthetic Society.
As of 2022 lip lift procedures are a growing aesthetic procedure. While precise statistics for the year may not be available, there has been a general increase in demand for this procedure in recent years. The lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the space between the nose and upper lip to create a more defined and youthful upper lip. It has become increasingly popular as patients seek more natural-looking results than what can be achieved with lip fillers alone. Additionally, social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok have contributed to the growing interest in the procedure, as people have been exposed to its results through influencers and celebrities. Overall, the lip lift is a procedure that has gained momentum and is expected to continue growing in popularity in the coming years.
In this video we will discuss the Bull Horn Lip lift and the possible celebrities like Bella Hadid, Mindy Kaling, Dove Cameron, Demi Moore and Kim Kardashian who may have had the procedure. A bull horn lip lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that is performed to elevate the upper lip and make it appear fuller and more youthful. The procedure gets its name from the shape of the incision, which resembles the curved horns of a bull. During the procedure, a plastic surgeon will make an incision under the nose, just above the upper lip, and remove a small amount of skin to shorten the distance between the nose and the upper lip. The remaining skin is then lifted and sutured to the base of the nose, resulting in a more defined and lifted upper lip.
The bull horn lip lift is a popular option for patients who have a long upper lip or a lack of lip volume, as it can create a more aesthetically pleasing balance between the lips and the surrounding facial features. The procedure can be performed on its own or in combination with other facial rejuvenation treatments, such as fillers or Botox, to achieve a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, and patients should consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine if the bull horn lip lift is right for them.

Can you please do BTS, Aespa and Twice 🥺(k-pop groups)
Lorry I love your videos. I never had any cosmetic procedures and your honesty about having plastic surgery is so refreshing. Thank you so much and keep up the great work. You are awesome😍💋💖.
@@veronicado1016 yhx😮😅😊
Great video Lorry! Excellent coverage of a really delicate procedure.
Thank you so much friend !
I love you both!
Same here. Love you both 🥰
Yeeey 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Soo cool when my favorites youtubers interact! ❤
Gary Linkov accepts his alopecia but makes his money providing "solutions" to women for "problems" so much more minor than alopecia. You can't make this stuff up.
I love your top. The colour really suits you. You're looking beautiful, sweet Lorry❤
Thank you so much
För years now I've wanted a lift lip, maybe I'll go for it. One thing I've noticed over the years is the patient feedback sites have gone from very high satisfaction to lower, maybe 70% approval. More issues reported with muscle involved surgery, a couple of surgeons even stopped doing that surgery. That's one reason I hesitate, will I need to relearn how to move my mouth?
I have never had this procedure but I had an accident where my superior labial frenum (the little piece of muscle above your teeth) was cut completely and now I have more difficulty closing my lips, I can imagine this is something similar as it also includes cutting a piece of skin that is directly related with closing the mouth but I would recommend you search a lot about what people who have had this done say about it, specifically how this have affected them throughout the years and your surgeon's advice
this vid is so informative, thanks as always Lorry
I have a huge philtrum, all my family has and I never even cared about that, but now that lip lifts are more common, I started to fixate on that. The thing is, I don't believe the scarring is worth it
I was born with a bull horn lip already, the skin between the lips and nose didn't developed enough, I can't believe people are paying thousands to get this.
I just started using a gadget that’s supposed to help lift your lip naturally over time. I’m just sick of lip filler because it hurts briefly, it’s time I don’t have to spend, it’s fairly expensive given it doesn’t last long for me which is the worst part. Good video! I’ve been wondering about these…I know people who have used Botox for flip.
So interesting! Can you link ?
what is the gadget?
wondering what this gadget it also!:)
please tell me what you’re using i’m desperate
Nuface maybe? @@LorryHill
Lori, I will always watch your videos. I've never had any cosmetic surgeries and most likely will never because I'm constantly broke after paying bills. I watch because you are so pleasant, classy, and educational. I truly hope for all your dreams to come true.....I think you probably deserve it.
Thank you so much ❤️
What a nice thing to say to someone.
@@danesmcganes9118 I know. So nice.
same! i think it’s very interesting to learn about and watch. even though i don’t think i’ll ever do anything. 🫶🏼
same ❤
It really throws me that technically any physician can legally perform plastic surgery even without specific training. Seems unsafe.
Yess usually and the safest option is always going with a certified plastic surgeon, this looks dangerous to do with any doctor that is not a plastic surgeon
I agree.
For some professions it's the opposite. For example if you want a labioplasty definitely choose a urologist or gynecologist instead of a plastic surgeon because a plastic surgeon generally won't have as much experience at that type of surgery. For lip lifts some skilled oral surgeons might be better than plastic surgeons etc. but it all depends on the individual surgeon and how much experience they have over that specific procedure.
Two of my friends got this it’s gorgeous!!!!!!
*costmetic surgery. Plastic surgery is by a plastic surgeon (at least in Australia)
This is a procedure that I just feel is not worth it. Watching these women actually talk is strange. Especially dove. And kim is always pulling her upper lip down/pressing her lips together. You can tell these lifts mess with speech. Yes they may look good while at rest... but when actually talking something is off.
👏👏👏
I think that's why Kim does that exaggerated lip licking thing she does
Same with fillers - might look fine at rest, but when people talk it's almost always visible, and most often also looks weird over time, as the filler migrates
i'm 2 weeks post op and you could not tell. no distortion. best decision ever it's so subtle but makes you look so much more attractive. you can't even see a scar either.
I've always thought this about Dove Cameron but I just thought she maybe had an untreated underbite or something that I couldn't pinpoint.
You really do a wonderful job of explaining the pros and cons objectively and eloquently. Thank you, Lorry!!! (I like Kim's best)
I did an opposite procedure to this, my upper lip was so close to my nose that made my face look squashed and my mouth movement while talking was weird, i got premolars removed along of upper lip reduction in order to give an harmonious look, my lips are now thinner but i love the result.
That sounds so interesting, I’d love to see a before and after of this type of thing.
Wow. Very rare to go in that direction! Glad you're happy with the result 😊
From your description, I can imagine that your natural-born look could have made you self-conscious. So glad you're happy with the result!
It was actually the result of very bad dentistry during early childhood,before that my mouth looked normal.
My full lips got called "gay lips" in school. Look who's laughing now. I am gay with full lips and I feel great about both.
People with full lips get it done too to make their lips higher
I got called Mick Jagger lips and worse names too.
This is literally me rn
@@noimnotakpoppfpsheacy2526 trust me, you’re winning. Pay no mind to the morons!
I can relate I got made fun of people told me dsl which I didn't know what that meant when I was younger. Also people accused me of them being fake. But it's all natural
Lip lifts scare me because no matter how good they look with the mouth closed, they leave the top lip a bit oddly static when speaking.
Same! I have considered one so long but the lip deformity isnt worth it
@@Greeneyedgeny7 Yeah don't do it. Nobody looks normal when they speak
I find it outrageous that people are made to be insecure about their philtrum. We really need to be kinder to ourselves.
Mine is long and I didn’t know that was bad till now 😢
It gets longer with age. It’s not just for beautification, it’s for de-aging
There's nothing wrong with changing something either 🤷🏻♀️
..you can change whatever you want, but it is also Ok letting things be the way they are. What kind of world is this where peoples problems are the lenghth of a philtrum. I did not even know that there is a word for this part of my body till today. This is ridiculous.
BAD? don't worry about it. people are looking in their phones, not at your philtrum
@@jennhrbn2470
thank you for including the v-to-the-y plasty diagrams in this video! this is the first time I've been able to envision this procedure accurately!!!!
Peoples are starting to get ridiculous with lips size . What look good on others doesn’t mean our face will match with them either .
I am not pro-plastic surgery. However, I appreciate this content, it encourages people to make informed decision and encourage them to do good research of their own before considering... since many teenager and young adults would be quite desperate and agree to non certified people for procedures putting their lives in danger.
Because of vanity reasons/insecurity
Jeez, there's so many procedures that can be done, it's crazy. Things I've never even thought of, lol.
I think we should value our features that make us unique. In a world of plastic surgeries with masks everywhere and all looking the same, I appreciate more the natural faces.
Well said.
Yesssss
SOOOO agree. It's awful that there are so many Kardashian wanna-be's.... I now cherish seeing lovely, natural young ladies... even thin lips look good to me now over the over-puffed Kardashian version that so many youngsters want.
Me too and i like my philtrum
@@gimmeprooflip lift is not about lips, it’s about philtrum. long philtrums make women masculine in a bad way (unattractive)
Finally I can give some advice on a thing I've experienced! I had a liplift and can give some comments:
1) Make sure your vision matches the surgeon's vision. You can't be unrealistic on what to expect from you procedure, but you can also "demand" something more dramatic if it was possible. Usually docs do what they think is OK, but remember you're paying, so you can request what YOU want.
2) Of course, look for a GOOD PROFESSIONAL. As Lorry says, research on how many liplifts has done, and see results (often as before-after pics. If they don´t have any though they say is a procedure they do.... mmmmhh.. doubts on you, doc!)
3) If it's a doc that does the procedure often, be very firm when talking about having a neat suture. I love my results, but some of the stitches needed extra care and she (my surgeon) didn't warn me about it. Skin gets weak when scarring and while you keep talking and eating, etc., it will surely need surgical tape or similar as support for a good while. My scars are somewhat visible and I hate them, to be honest.
4) Finally and something I didn't see mentioned in the video but is just a thing that's totally bareable: You can lose sensitivity in the area of the scar. 2 years later and I never ever got back full sensitivity of the area. And is a bit uncomfortable. Is normal since the skin gets numb where there's a scar, but feels even weirder when it's on your face.
Final comment: I don't regret AT ALL. I look more youthful, my cupid's bow is more accentuated and my features changed for the better 100%. I'd do it all over again without hesitation.
Does it affect ur smile lines in any way?
@@kaylamccadney5465 Not at all. You can see that some features change a bit, but is not that dramatic. In my case, I actually saw a slight improvement on my nasolabial folds. But that can vary on each person.
I've had a lip filler treatment done. My doctor is very conservative and her thing is less is more. She used 0.5 ml and I am very pleased with the results. Greetings from Germany
Is that your thing too?
This is such an important conversation to open up that is pretty natural progression from beauty standards shifting over time. We’re in an era where many of us grew up with avatars customizable in games and seeing celebrities with all sorts of cosmetic procedures. Nowadays kids are growing up with cgi characters and 3d models of real people in digital spaces. Knowing what is achievable in physical reality and how your body can be expected to heal is vital information for anyone considering comparing themselves to any kind of beauty “standard” that can cost thousands of dollars. I hope humans start to enjoy the natural diversity of faces and open up the ideals to more varieties of human.
and spend that money on beautiful trips
Lorry always make videos that keep me engaged the whole way through..it's kind of scary how interesting her content is 🤔
Aww thank you !!
@@WitnessEra 🤦🏻♀️ You're delusional
@@WitnessEra Doja attacked Lori without actually watching the video
@@WitnessEra these continents ????
@@les.3559 Think she meant content. Helps if u contextualise what u r reading
This is another beauty trend. It used to be that a nose so close to the top lip was considered less attractive. These standards keep changing. You always do such a wonderful job breaking it all down.
Low hanging nose was considered unattractive but nice nose close to the attractive lip never was, I think
@@Kat-zx1pj it really wasn't, people like to push this narrative that big lips were hated before Kylie Jenner showed up, while there are so many people with fuller lips who were considered attractive long before, Pamela Anderson, Brigitte Bardot, Angelina Jolie and many others
I don’t think the only purpose of this procedure is to reduce the distance between nose and lips…it’s mainly to make the lips look fuller without fuller. That’s why it’s popular these days
@@nothing-jl2dz lol you only mentioned white women as if black women don’t naturally have full lips. Beyoncé? Naomi Campbell? Rihanna?
@@r.c.7779 they're probably white and don't care lol. They typically leave us out of the beauty conversation therefore we have our own Beauty conversations and generally we don't include them either so it's not a big deal.
I had one (bullhorn) last June and I’m very happy with it. I always had a small mouth and with age the philtrum had elongated. I had it performed as one of several anti aging procedures, and only had 4mm removed so I wasn’t looking for anything drastic. I have minimal scarring which is only noticeable if you’re looking for it. I think it’s a worthwhile surgery if you’re a good candidate and have realistic expectations and a skilled surgeon
Hi! Who did you go to and did you notice your nose shape change?
Hi, yes same question as the one above? Surgeon and also worried about change in my nose/nostrils
What is your age?
I was 25 when I got mine! My philtrum was long and lips were almost non-existent, so lip injections didn't help. I love my face now. Subtle, but effective!
I am glad you are satisfied, as you described I imagine you had the indication to do it; problem is when people don’t need it and do it, it can spoil something that was good already
I have quite a small space between my nose and lip so it would just sew my lips and nose together if they did this to me
👁️👃👁️
🫦
Same lol. I already pretty much always get food like burgers and bbq on my nose.
I just had this done. I don't know if muscle was involved but probably not because i didn't have such a long recovery. Im happy with the results
Had mine in 2018 and it was soooo worth it!!! It took years off of my face.
Do you struggle with speech at all? That’s the only thing I’m scared about getting
are your nostrils wider?
The cost of this in America is CRAZY. i live in the Dominican Republic and I got this done twice as my doctor didnt want to remove too much at one go. I paid $300USD and great great results. Perfect...$3,000-15,000 is CRAZY to me lol
BTW: When i was researching about it I called a well known surgeon in LA and he was charging me $6,500 for it apart from the $250 for the zoom call and the airbnb and plane ticket. I am not saying to go to a third world country to get this done as it is a huge risk to take, i am just stating my experience. Please dont leave mean comments. Thanks.
I live in Belgium, I had a bleph for 2000€ last year. Not cheap, but he has to pay the anesthesiologist, nurse, the hospital… in Belgium are a lot of day clinics and surgeons rent locations by the hour.
But 8 years before me a friend had done the same procedure for 800€. 😮
@@orphanl now that you mention that, the doctor did remove muscle and it was done in his office in about 30 mins. So no nurses, none of that. AGAIN, THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE. AND DAMN 800€ is good!
i got this done in turkey for the same reason
Well done girl ,I will be doing the same, better spend the money in order to get good results with a good doc ...here in Romania is less than half the price ...hoe you are happy with your results 😀
unfortunately getting plastic surgery in the DR has a greater risk of necrosis and death. Each person's story is their individual experience.
I always thought it was a upper lift & corner lift i needed, it's not until I watched this I realised that in fact the V/Y procedure would be more effect as to what I'm wanting
So AGAIN Thank you Lorry for continually educating us and providing us with all the information we need 💙
Didn't women in the past simply overdraw their upper lip line with lip liner to get a similar effect? Lucille Ball, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, come immediately to mind. Seems like an easier and much less painful option!
"Women in the past" lmao people still do it today
yes they did, even wearing lip gloss makes your lips look fuller...
If you've seen Dove in interviews over the years, you'll see how distracting it is to watch her talk. She sort of plays with her lips/ tries to get them to work right? 😅 I wonder if this will impede her acting abilities? Being able to communicate is the most important thing as an actress! Crazy she could ruin that for herself. Super sad.
Hi Lorry
Can you make a video on Pamela Anderson? She’s made a comeback with her recent documentary. I think she’s naturally beautiful and a very nice person. She looks really great.
Without information like this, I don’t think people can be honest with themselves about what surgery option is the best.
I rarely feel that anyone has such a long philtrum that it bothers me. Some people also just rock that long philtrum look. With confidense, about anything can look beautiful
yeah I feel like it's more useful as an anti-aging procedure rather than a beautifying procedure for young people
@@ririimari The way people look overall can't be reduced to single features "long philtrum", "small eyes", "thin eyebrows", etc. Someone can be overall beautiful, and even mire than someone else, even with a long philtrum, small eyes etc...
@@ririimari it is on black people!! So pls stop 🤣
that's a cute sentiment but long philtrums age people, esp younger people
@@candicewatson5508 and ?
I’m glad you did this overview, Lorry, because I haven’t understood lip lifts. Now that you have explained it so well, I’m skeptical. Given the cost, the scarring and the other risks, I don’t think it’s worth it, especially if there’s a chance you could have your speech affected or not be able to move your mouth naturally. Even the “good” results are so subtle that I don’t think I’d do it even if it was gifted to me.
So now the dreaded long philtrum isn’t good according to our beauty standards. It’s hard to keep up. The more I watch these types of videos the more important it is for me to accept myself as God made me.
Wow. So fascinating! Lorry, could u do a video explaining more about the V to the Y plasty procedure?
Can you make a video about Pamela Anderson and what she's had done recently? She's looking 25 years younger all of a sudden. I'd like her doctor.
They’re all just so fake looking it is quite comical actually.🤪
Thank you for doing a video on lip lifts!
Of course!! ❤️
Hi lorry please could you talk about Selena Gomezs face
Lorry, your videos are very entertaining and at the same time, very informative. I don't even know when the videos are coming to an end.😚😚😚
Wow, thank you!
I do wonder why so many women want such enormous lips. If your lips are smaller or somewhat thin, that is what nature intended. I think of Ann-Margret--my idol as a kid--whose lips were thin and perfectly complemented the rest of her face. Or Natalie Wood, whose upper lip was not all puffed up. All this talk of philtrums confuses me. What? It's just a normal part of the face. Some poor people have a smooth philtrum which lacks the characteristic groove; it is a sign that their mothers drank heavily in pregnancy (now THAT is something that needs a fix!). To me, nothing is worth compromising the ability to speak clearly and comfortably.
I have had the procedure done, after trying filler for years, this procedure gave so much harmony to my face, made my face more proportional and made me look less angry when my face was at rest. Not everyone wants a huge lip.
@@kita5066 Actually, that particular lift that corrects a downturn does seem very worthy to me.
Hi Lorry, can you talk about eyebrow lift procedures
second i also want a brow lift video!
Definitely!
I was worried when I started to follow Lori that the videos would trigger me to do more procedures but I think quite frankly I realised less is more. Most people looked better when they didn’t have many procedures. The only exceptions to this that I can think of are the Kardashians, Demi Moore and Cher. It blows my mind that people like Gigi Hadid thought they needed to change their looks. Oh well, if it makes them happy, why not?
Looks like Zendaya has been gone because she was recovering from a second rhinoplasty; hope you can do an update on her she looks amazing!
I love how Lorry genuinely wants to help other women feel more beautiful! I think she’s a great example of your body your choice! Nobody should feel they have to get any procedure done to be accepted or loved but there’s no shame in wanting to look your best so why not spread awareness about the risks of surgery while also being honest about how they can make some people feel better in their own skin 🖤 As someone who’s grown up in an environment where all plastic surgery was considered absolutely insane and ridiculous, morally wrong even, Lorry’s videos help me feel less shame for getting chin lipo done last year. Btw I still love my result!
I am so glad you chose to talk about the lift lift again!
Hey lorry i just wanna say thank you! I learned so much about plastic surgery thanks to you and your content is really helping me when it comes to my body dismorphia.
I agree. All this info is really important and helps us really look into what we think about ourselves. For me, at least.
This video was particularly well made!👏🏽 super interesting especially since I’ve been contemplating this surgery in my future…🤔
Bella hadid’s procedures are by far the best I have ever seen
I know it was a lot of change and she was gorgeous before, but she really is so strikingly beautiful now!
Disagree. She should've stopped with the procedures in 2016, IMO. After that she entered Uncanny Valley.
Wow that’s weird. I think she looked better before.
i would agree except i do't like how her most recent rhinoplasty went. they shaved too much in my opinion
Wow, the amount of information you give in a single video about a procedure is amazing! Thank you!
what is your intrinsic value if you are not individual?
You’re presupposing that the inherent worth of someone is based solely on their physical appearance?
The risk of talking and eating funny, along with thick scarring in such a visible place makes this procedure terrifying to me
This is the only procedure I believe I might do in my 40s-50s. My lips are a good size, I take great care of my skin and all is good but the top lip is a tad bit long 😗😆 love love love your content as always 👑🇲🇽 saludos desde Mexico preciosa 💖
I have insecurities but I can honestly say I have lips that some people pay thousands of dollars for but will still never achieve. I absolutely love my lips. And yes, I got comments making fun of them before in my life. But anyways I have a big nose and that's not really the beauty standard. But not everyone needs big lips or a small nose, this thinking is disregarding how everyone's face is different and what may look nice on someone else may throw off the balance of your face.
Actually strong noses are becoming en vogue
Yeah bigger noses are more beautiful than small noses imo. They often look more elegant and classy to me
@@binkao2938 I have one, a bumpy one, it's nice hearing this.
I'm so glad I was naturally blessed with a nice pout but I also think big pouts don't suit everyone's face.
Same.
But if you’re born with it, it suits your face. It’s your natural features.
@@true4585 that's my point
I am always amazed about the rigor and detail that you put in to these videos taking into consideration even the rhinoplasty that Kim had that made her a good candidate. I love your videos!
I've had a botox lip flip. It looks incredibly natural. It blends perfectly with my overall pout. I love it!
I wanna get this too. My lip curls under when I smile.. I’m nervous tho
@@missarilounot encouraging you but botox wears away with time.
Me too, but for me it only ever lasts a month or so ..I also need a lot of botox as my muscle is strong!! I still haven't found the right amount as I keep increasing it every time, and it's still not enough. But it is a subtle improvement...
This is how many times Lorry said Lip Lift 👇🏻
I think you should have mentioned that people already with a big/full sizable top lip might not be suitable, because it would just make their top lip look absolutely huge...unless that's the look you're going for. I would like to get this procedure done I have a long philtrum...but I already have a sizable full/big top lip, although with very little Cupid's bow definition.
I'm thinking maybe braces to pull back my slight overbite might help to minimise the appearance of my long philtrum as it won't protrude outward due to my overbite 😅
I feel like my Philtrum may be too short, it’s like 0.5mm.
Is not good for black people and long upper lip looks good on us
I have had 2 skin only bullhorn lip lifts but the top lip always drops over time with movement of the mouth, eating etc
lol it's funny you posted this cause I was watching the new season of OBX and was wondering if Madelyn Cline has gotten one. I'm leaning towards no but, idk her upper lip looked kinda prominent in some scenes!
One thing I noticed is some of these results are barely noticeable... like they maybe had a mm lift. It looks the same as before. I can't imagine shelling out thousands and going through surgery for my lips to literally look the exact same.
I would not do it myself but it actually looks good on many people
ive been considering this over fillers, thanks for sharing Lorry!
Lorrie ~ Your makeup shades ~ especially your lip color ~ were especially flattering on this day! 👄You look like a perfect rose. 🌷Just wanted to send that compliment your way🙋🏻♀️
Procedures contex aside, a perfect lips are tell only truth, says only kindness
I have seen too many obvious scars on people from this procedure. I wouldn't want a potential scar in the middle of my face. I have also seen people get nostril asymmetry from this. Not for me.
I’ve had it and it was the only procedure I’ve had. I’m super happy with the results. I naturally have m-shaped-lips (that’s where the upper lip is facing downward, looking like the letter M from the front). The doctor performed a bullhorn excision skin only, and shortened my Philtrum from 20 to 10 mm. It really boosted my confidence long term. There is a visible scar, it’s just white and as I am very pale that’s not a big deal. Only downside is that the scar on the left nostril has a little indent that creates a shadow that makes my nostrils look slightly asymmetrical. But either way, no regrets. Had it done at 25, 4 years ago. Life is better with a top lip.
I think I may have similar lips to yours...in your opinion, with hindsight, would u still have a skin only lift or would you go for the muscle, and why or why not? Thanks!!!
@@KelLAkiwiI would like to know that as well please 🙏
i love the v to the y plasty results look. if i got something, i think it would be that. although i'm fine the way i am and would rather spend my money on tattoos lol
I love this procedure it’s a game changer for people with a long distance from the philtrum to mouth but if you are prone to keloid or hypertrophic scarring make sure you get the surgeon to inject steroids in the area that same day
You are such a nice lady. I really respect your honesty ❤
I see some examples from Dr Warwick Nettle! His lip lifts are easily the best. I cant see any scars. Whatever his suturing technique is... it's the best for sure.
i like my thin lips. i am told they have a nice shape to them and in this world of fillers and trout pouts it's nice to know i don't look like that.
I just wish plastic surgery was more affordable.
Everyday on the news I see women losing their lives traveling to find affordable plastic surgery.
These death can be prevented if plastic surgery was more affordable.
Both of these procedures are exactly what I want. Old age has increased the space between my nose and upper lip. It seemed to happen so suddenly I was shocked. Thanks for info.
I actually preferred some of the surgery before and after results, than the celebrities 😌
I think celebrities already start out being more beautiful than the average person and we get so used to their look that when they change it, the audience’s initial reaction is confusion. When it comes to before and afters of regular people, we’re not attached to any features and are just generally more open minded. Celebrities also get more procedures done while not “needing” them. The average person can’t afford to do that so they tend to go for the ones that make the biggest difference/improvement to their features. The regular peoples before and afters are also the ones taken and used by doctors as advertisements, so they’re usually best case scenarios for each procedure. I wonder if the zoom in on features in those photos vs full face and body of celebrity photos also affects how we interpret the outcomes.
I would love more risks and complications videos about various procedures!
as someone who’s had this done, it’s probably my favorite procedure. it made a dramatic difference and when i talk you can see the babydoll-like curvature of my top lip. only negative is the gnarly scarring which could’ve been less aggressive had i not kept the lip filler i was told to remove. I have since removed the top lip filler and love the final result! 💞
Did your nose change?
How was your recovery?
How did the lip filler affect scarring? Had it migrated up to the base of the nose?
@@KelLAkiwi Oh no! Thankfully, i already had a good base with my lips so i never suffered from migration. However, having filler at the time of the surgery affects the healing process because the filler causes the area to have weight, thus pulling down on the skin, creating a more permeable scar.
@@ComfortASMRalice pretty easy, just minimal activity in that area is advised after surgery. like no eating textured foods that cause certain mouth movements and not too much kissing etc. After 3 weeks i was completely back to normal and downtime is like 2 days.
I'm so torn by this procedure. I have a naturally long philtrum and as I'm getting older it gets longer... but I'm so anxious I'll hate the permanent results I don't think I can do it 😅
Same! My philtrum is naturally long… like 20mm at least! I’ve always felt self-conscious about it and have used make up to make slight adjustments to my nose and upper lip. I’m thinking of getting this procedure done since my philtrum will only get longer as I age.
I got one CC of filler and 2_3 years later I noticed my philtrum was longer. I shouldn't have got the darn filler because I only did it once and the results were minor and lasted 8 months
Your philtrum lengthens over time. It’s natural
@@beameupscotty ya but it didn't happen until after I got lip filler. I don't have one wrinkle on my face . I'm black so my skin hasn't dropped anywhere else. We age differently and I know my own body . I was absolutely the fillers that did it.
I do not understand why some people's lip lifts make their nostrils look piggish while others' lip lifts look great!! Skill or genetics?
the after photos honestly barely show a different imo. doesn’t seem worth it at ALL. some after photos i can’t even tell!!!
I had this procedure done by a top plastic surgeon in LA. I have been left with obvious uneven lips. Very depressing as I blame myself. Would not recommend
Love these type of videos. Please continue this series of all procedures.
I started to feel somewhat nauseated at 2:35 … yikes!
Same, surgical stuff scares me 😖
Unfortunately I'm too intrigued I keep watching these types of videos tho lol
Doves bottom lip looks terrible now it looks like a fat lump or like swollen
I guess I’m in the minority that thinks Dove looked way better before her surgeries🤷♀️ if it makes her feel better then good for her.
Great, helpful analysis, as always.
Given that you're a pro in my eyes... My ENT said that he'll go ahead and do a septoplasty while he does another procedure for me because my septum is quite deviated. My question to you is, how much, if any, will a setoplasty affect my appearance? (I dont want my nose to change, even though it's not perfect.)
thanks Lorry - great video - I love your videos and watch them as soon as I'm notified...You're a lady.
Amazing video
Could you please do an video on dimpleplasty?
I have a really big philtrum HELP
Can you start a series on this? Specifically, I'd be interested in seeing the truth about fillers!
I had one done and got a huuuuge visible scar around my nose. had to walk around a year with this scar until I finally got it cut out. Now it's less visible.
What kind of procedure just enhances the cupid's bow from the profile? Like, if it want it to slant out a little?
I am curious about it too
I would say a thin filler meant for the lip “outline”.
@@LorryHill Oh okay, cool! Thank you! :) Do those kinds of fillers tend to migrate at all?
Is there any chance Beyoncé might have gotten this procedure done? Huge fan of your videos Lorry!
