In the article, we will consider the Bulhorn lip plasty method, before and after photos and reviews of this procedure. Beautiful and sensual lips play an important role in shaping female beauty. This part of the body always makes a very charming face, and a smile, in turn, beautiful. But nature does not always endow women with the right features, but this is not a reason to put up with such a given. The world of cosmetology has not stood still for a long time, safe, and at the same time effective technologies for improving appearance are constantly being developed.
About the operation
An operation called Bulhorn is able to change the shape of the lips and make them more beautiful, this is a change in the upper lip. This manipulation belongs to the type of operations to change the shape of this area of the face and its common name is cheiloplasty. According to reviews, an increasing number of women are resorting to Bulhorn.
Directly this definition literally means "bull horns", since during the procedure, excision issmall piece of skin. It resembles a horn in its shape. The operation gives a high aesthetic effect, upon reaching which the patients remain satisfied and praise it in their reviews on various clinic sites and forums that are dedicated to this topic. Bullhorn, among other things, gives a rejuvenating effect.
Features
Reviews after the Bulhorn operation will be discussed below. This technique has a name, which in English means "bull's horns". During the operation, a small patch of skin under the nose is removed, thereby pulling the upper lip higher and twisting. This gives it plumpness, visually increasing the volume. Preparation for the procedure does not have any special differences from others.
The patient must necessarily consult with various specialists, as well as pass tests and undergo the required examinations. This is done in order to avoid complications with unforeseen situations later. There are three methods in total: internal, Italian and external.
The essence of the operation is to tighten the skin above the upper lip in order to increase its size and reduce the distance between the nostrils and mouth. This gives the correct shape and makes this area of the face more attractive, according to reviews.
With Bulhorn, internal access is considered a great option, because in this case there are no traces left at all. The sutures are removed on the fourth or fifth day, but for another week the patient may experience severe swelling and bruising. True, those are easily disguised with the help of cosmetics, and a woman will be able to continue her social activities. There are also reviews on this. Photo of Bulhorn presented.
The essence of the procedure
The operation is carried out in order to reduce the total distance from the edge of the upper lip to the base of the nose. To do this, a strip of skin is removed, fixing the soft tissue to the periosteum, the edges of the incision are sutured together. That is, the essence of the operation in question is reduced to shortening the skin above the upper lip, and the red border itself is pulled up and twisted a little.
Thanks to all this, the upper lip can become visually very voluminous, but at the same time wide and seductive. To date, the following techniques are used, which may differ in the place in which the incision is made:
- The incision is made along the edge of the upper lip.
- It is made directly under the nose. With this technique, the scars remain invisible.
The doctor, based on the individual characteristics of the patient, chooses the most appropriate technique. In some cases, in addition to excising a section of the skin (when this is not enough), special fixing threads are used to tighten the lips.
There is also a method of the Italian type of Bulhorn, characterized by the fact that the cut is carried out not by a single continuous strip, but by two independent cuts at once. The incisions are made to the left and right directly from the space between the nostrils. Main advantageThis method is the invisibility of scars, as they will be hidden inside the nose. The disadvantage is that it will not be possible to significantly lift the upper lip.
Plastic surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia, its duration is about half an hour. In the event that a patient has a gingival smile, it is possible to perform bite correction or other plastic procedures, since it is commonly believed that a smile will be attractive only if the front row teeth are exposed only half of their length.

Bullhorn threads
According to experts, thread technologies do not fully replace surgical treatment. Non-surgical Bulhorn is performed using an absorbable thread. For patients, such manipulation is recommended according to the indications in the standard surgical option.
Which is considered more effective - Bullhorn or injections?
The currently widely used injection technique for lip correction has a huge number of advantages, among which there is an almost instant effect along with the absence of the need for preparation for the procedure (as with Bulhorn) and a long rehabilitation period. At the same time, the ability to achieve the desired effect without scars and soreness also plays a significant role in this matter.
Why, in such a situation, many patients prefer surgical intervention? The secret of this state of affairs often lies in the consequences of injections, which are far from always amenable to medical diagnosis. The risks of getting a duck's beak, when the area simply bulges forward instead of plump and seductive lips, are so great that for many this is unacceptable (especially for women who want not only to change the shape of their mouth, but also to increase the volume of this area of the face).
Compared to a simpler and safer procedure, lipoplasty gives you the opportunity to avoid gettingduck profile due to the very principle of change itself. Intervention in the natural structure, in this case, occurs by truncation of a small strip of skin located under the base of the nose.
As a result of the work of the surgeon, the upper long lip is reduced, which makes it possible to achieve natural volume without excessive bulges. Another advantage, against which the bullhorn is currently enjoying increasing popularity, is the visual effect that gives the female face features of youth. Often, the operation is combined with injection blepharoplasty. Next, let's move on to reviewing the reviews of patients and the plastic surgeons themselves, and also find out what they write in the comments about this operation.
