The treatment of an objectively or subjectively, totally or partially droopy lip has to be customized to achieve a proportionate and harmonious roll out of the red vermilion, either at the upper or lower lips.
Best state of the art treatment for the droopy lips is the direct lip lift or seagull lift with hidden incisions at the vermilion red lip area or inside the mouth in case of typically aged and flat upper or lower lips; however when there is a long philtrum (valley between nose and upper lip) associated to a droopy upper lift might be indicated the indirect upper lip lift with philtrum shortening also called as bullhorn lift with incisions at the nasal base.
