What is a Bullhorn lift?

A Bullhorn lift is a surgical lip lift that specifically shortens the distance between nose and upper lip. By removing a narrow strip of skin directly under the nose, the upper lip is gently lifted and the lip red is visibly accentuated. For many patients, the results of the Bullhorn lift look more natural than many laser treatments and ensure a younger, harmonious facial expression. The Bullhorn lift is one of the most popular ways to correct a long upper lip and achieve lasting emphasis on the lip contour.

Bullhorn treatment process

Prevention — individual planning at Dr. Berkei:

Before each Bullhorn lift, we conduct an individual consultation with Dr. Berkei thoroughly explaining the exact treatment plan and how to implement the lift. We will provide you with the best information you need to know before the procedure and prepare you in the best possible way. We recommend avoiding intoxicating substances such as alcohol and nicotine before and after the procedure. The same applies to blood thinning drugs.

Performing the Bullhorn Lift

The Bullhorn lift usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia. A short incision is performed between the white of the lips and the base of the nose. This removes a narrow strip of skin in the area of the base of the nose. As a result, the distance between nose and mouth is reduced and the upper lip is slightly raised.

Aftercare - care for a perfect result

In the area of the suture, a plaster bandage is applied with Steristrip. The operating area can be gently cooled post-operatively. We then see our patients in our practice on the first post-operative day for an initial check-up. Slight swelling subsides quickly in the first few days. Sport and physical exertion should be avoided for approximately 2 weeks. We remove the stitches on the 7th postoperative day, and scar care can then be carried out using Bepanthen, for example. After the 6th week, the scar is barely visible anymore.

Who is a Bullhorn lift suitable for?

A Bullhorn lift is suitable for people who

• Find the distance between nose and upper lip too long
• Want more visible lip blush
• When Fillers Do Not Achieve a Natural Effect
• Have a flat upper lip despite being injected
• Have lost lip volume due to age
• Aim for a Younger and Harmonious Expression of the Lower Half of the Face

Bullhorn lifting is often a very suitable solution even for asymmetrical lip lines or for patients who are looking for a permanent alternative to laser treatments. At our Berkei practice in Frankfurt, the procedure has been one of the most sought after surgical options for a finer, defined lip profile for many years.

Benefits of a Bullhorn Lift

• Natural Accentuation of Lip Red

The upper lip looks fuller without additional volume. The lip red is visibly and harmoniously accentuated.

• Shortening a long philtrum

Too much space between nose and upper lip can make the face look tired or tight. The Bullhorn lift elegantly restores natural proportion.

• Lasting effect

Unlike fillers, the result persists as the skin structure is repositioned.

• Harmonious facial expression

After a lift, the mouth area appears more open and becomes more expressive. The face looks more balanced and often even younger.

• Fine outline of the upper lip

The natural curve of the upper lip stands out beautifully and improves the profile and frontal view.

• No foreign materials

Only the body's own skin is repositioned. The result is particularly authentic and natural.

• Ideal when fillers do not have enough effect

If there is no sufficient projection area in the upper lip area, a Bullhorn lift is often the more sensible alternative.
