    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.

      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.

      @@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.

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?

    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 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 think lips looked balanced when the upper lip is thinner than the lower lip. I see many lip lift procedures where in the end, the upper lip comes out bigger than the lower lip, and that doesn't look natural at all. It's like upside-down. Furthermore, I see no problem with thin upper lips, like Kate Middleton's. I think we are born with the size of lips that matches our facial structure, and this is a trend that will pass.

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.

    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.

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

    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.
