Bullhorn Lip Lift in New York

Lip Lift Dr. Andrew Jacono is a double board certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon who specializes procedures of the face. View before and after lip lift patient photos in this video.

Bullhorn Lip Lift – Lip Augmentation

A lip lift is a surgical procedure that is designed to reveal a broader smile and to reduce the amount of spacing between the tip of the nose and the upper lip. Lip lifts are done through abbreviated hidden incision along anatomic borders. Lip lifts are one of Dr. Jacono’s favorite procedures to do since such a small procedure can have such a large impact on the overall beauty of the face.

Subnasal Lip Lift – Bullhorn Technique

Dr. Jacono is a New York based, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon who performs lip lift procedures using various techniques. One of the more common surgical techniques Dr. Jacono uses is called a bullhorn lip lift or a sub nasal lift.

Upper lip lifts are one of the most common facial plastic surgery procedures over the past few years, and Dr. Jacono is one of the top facial plastic surgeons in the world who specializes in natural upper lip lifts using the bullhorn lip lift approach.

What is a Bullhorn Lip Lift?

As we age, lips can lose their shape and their fullness. The distance between the upper lip and the nose can also get longer as we age and will continue to do so over time. For the lips, they tend to descend related to the loss of support. To correct this and shorten the distance between the nose and upper lift, a lip lift or lip augmentation can provide a long-term solution.

The bullhorn lip lift targets the upper lip area only and elevates it to reveal a broader smile and less distance between the lips and nasal area. Dr. Jacono begins this procedure by placing an incision just below the nose and in the shape of a bull’s horn. Dr. Jacono is an expert at placing the incision in a hidden fashion into the curves under the nose which results in a virtually undetectable scar. From there, a tiny strip of tissue and skin is removed, the muscle will then be tightened, and the upper lip will be raised to its new lifted position.

The Bullhorn Lip Lift procedure generally takes about 45 minutes for Dr. Jacono to perform and is done under local anesthesia.

A Bullhorn Lip Lift is a goof Procedure for Patients Who Have:

  • Flat and Thin Lips
  • Lips that are Unbalanced
  • An Upper Lip that is Too Long
  • Larger than Normal Distance Between the Lips and the Nose

What to Expect from a Bullhorn Lip Lift

A bullhorn lip lift is a surgical procedure is a great way to shorten and reshape the area above the lips and below the nose. This procedure will help to create poutier lips that are slightly lifted and allow for the upper teeth to be more visible when smiling.

The procedure itself will take Dr. Jacono roughly between 45 minutes to an hour to perform and done under local anesthesia. A follow up appointment will be made prior to leaving the office. Post-operative and recovery instructions will also be provided prior to going home.

Most patients are able to return back to most normal daily activities to include work after 4 to 5 days. Some minor swelling is to be expected but should subside on its own after one week.

For full facial rejuvenation, Dr. Jacono can combine a lip lift with any other cosmetic procedure to include a facelift, eyelid lifts, browlift, and injectable fillers.

Who is a Candidate for a Bullhorn Lip Lift?

The Bullhorn Lip Lift may be a good solution for men and women who are in good general health and are looking to enhance their lips. This can include patients who may have been born with a thin upper lip and those who are looking to shorten the distance between their upper lip and nasal region.

It is recommended that those patients who are interested in this procedure schedule a consultation with Dr. Jacono. During that time, Dr. Jacono will listen to your concerns and goals to determine which cosmetic approach will help you achieve those aesthetic goals.

Mission Statement

Doctor Jacono’s desire to become a facial plastic surgeon was solidified in grade school. There was a girl on his school bus route who was born with a cleft lip and palate deformity. Unfortunately, whenever she spoke, air and words escaped through her nose. Kids teased her and were cruel, and nobody would sit next to her on the bus, so he decided to sit with her. One day, the girl had plastic surgery and returned to school with her face repaired. Suddenly, classmates saw her face instead of her deformity and immediately treated her normally. It was at that moment that Doctor Jacono knew he wanted to fix people’s faces and change their lives. This is why he has gone on over twenty plastic surgery missions to poor countries around the world and provided free cleft lip and surgery for birth defects to over 500 children.

Because of this experience in his childhood, Doctor Jacono understands that one of our basic needs as human beings is to feel confident about our appearance. It’s is Doctor Jacono’s passion to help his patients achieve their facial aesthetic goals, creating natural appearing results to either enhance their beauty and proportion or rejuvenate their aging appearance. He is a world-renowned leader in the field of facial plastic surgery and only performs surgery on the face, not the body. He has innovated many facelift, eyelid lift, and rhinoplasty surgical techniques, publishing in leading peer reviewed literature and lecturing at plastic surgery conferences all over the world. He is committed to sharing what he has learned teaching surgeons from around the world.

His approach is to maintain your uniqueness and facial identity; it is still you just better. To do this he uses a customized, bespoke approach to each patient employing the most minimally invasive, innovative, and cutting-edge technology. Doctor Jacono has never performed the same procedure on any two of the thousands of patients he has treated. He is committed to providing his surgical expertise in a caring, supportive environment with a professional staff that has you as their focus and concern.
