In the article, we will consider the Bulhorn lip plastic method, before and after photos and reviews about this procedure. Beautiful and sensual lips in the formation of female beauty play a crucial role. This part of the body always makes the face very charming, and the smile, in turn, is beautiful. But nature does not always endow women with the right traits, 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 the appearance are constantly being developed.
About operation
An operation called Bulhorn is able to change the head start of the lips and make them more beautiful, this is a change in the upper lip. This manipulation refers to the type of surgery 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’s horns,” since a small skin flap is excised during the procedure. It resembles its shape of a horn. The operation gives a high aesthetic effect, upon reaching which patients remain satisfied and praise him in their reviews on various clinic sites and forums that are dedicated to this topic. Bulhorn, among other things, gives a rejuvenating effect.
Features
Reviews after the operation Bulhorn consider below. This technique has a name, which is translated from English as "horns of a bull." During the operation, a small patch of skin under the nose is removed, thereby pulling the upper lip higher and twisting. This gives it puffiness, visually increasing the volume. Preparation for the procedure does not have any special differences from others.
The patient must consult with various specialists, as well as take tests and undergo the required examinations. This is done in order to avoid complications with unforeseen situations. There are three methods in total: internal, Italian and external.
The essence of the operation is pulling the skin over the upper lip in order to increase its size and reduce the distance between the nostrils and the mouth. This gives the right shape and makes this area of the face more attractive, according to reviews.
Under Bulhorn, internal access is considered an excellent option, because in this case there are absolutely no traces left. The sutures are removed on the fourth to fifth day, but for another week the patient may experience severe swelling and bruising. True, these are easily masked with the help of cosmetics, and a woman will not be able to stop conducting her social activities. There are also reviews about this. A photo of Bulhorn is 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, remove a strip of skin, 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 over the upper lip, and the red border itself is pulled up and slightly twisted.
Thanks to all this, the upper lip can become visually very voluminous, and 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:
- Dissection is performed along the edge of the upper lip.
- It is done directly under the nose. With this technique, scars remain invisible.
The doctor, based on the individual characteristics of the patient, selects the most acceptable technique. In some cases, in addition to excising the area of the skin (when this is not enough), special fixing threads that tighten the lips are used.
There is also a method of the Italian type of Bulhorn, characterized in that the section is carried out not by a single continuous strip, but by two separate sections at once. Cuts are made left and right directly from the space between the nostrils. The main advantage of this 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 raise the upper lip.
Plastic surgery is done under local, or under general anesthesia, its duration is about half an hour. In the event that the patient has a gingival smile, then it is possible to perform occlusal correction or other plastic procedures, as it is believed that a smile will be attractive only if the front row teeth are bare only half their length.

Bulhorn stranded
According to experts, surgical treatment is not completely replaced by thread technologies. Non-surgical Bulhorn is performed using absorbable suture. Such manipulation is recommended for patients according to indications in the standard surgical option.
What is considered more effective - bulhorn 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 lack of need for preparation for the procedure (as with Bulhorn) and a long rehabilitation period. Moreover, the availability of the ability to achieve the desired effect without scars and soreness also plays a significant role in this matter.
Why, then, in this 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 beak, when the region simply protrudes instead of puffy and seductive lips forward, are so great that for many it is unacceptable (especially for women who want to not only change the shape of their mouth, but also increase the volume of this area of the face).
Compared to a simpler and, at the same time, safe procedure, lip plastic makes it possible to avoid obtaining a duck profile due to the principle of changes itself. Intervention in the natural structure, in this case, occurs by truncating 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 contracts, which makes it possible to achieve a natural volume without unnecessary bulges. Another advantage against which bulhorn is now increasingly popular is the visual effect, which gives the female face the features of youth. Often, surgery is combined with injectable blepharoplasty. Next, we will go on to consider the feedback of patients and plastic surgeons themselves, and also find out what they write in the comments about this operation.
Doctors reviews about Bulhorn
And what do experienced surgeons say about this procedure? Many experts leave very approving reviews about Bulhorn plastic. Doctors note its effectiveness with age-related changes or a long upper lip in a patient.
Some doctors in reviews of Bulhorn report their preference for the latent form, that is, which is done on the part of the oral mucosa. This favor is directly related to the absolute absence of postoperative scars.
Doctors also advise before doing the procedure to do three-dimensional modeling of photographs of the patient, which will reflect the final result. This is required so that a person understands the feasibility of manipulation and its aesthetic effectiveness. The following are patient reviews of Bulhorn.
What do patients think about this procedure?
Basically, patients respond positively to this medical technology, since it causes minimal tissue injury and gives a long shelf life for therapy results. Especially appreciated by its representatives of the weaker sex. According to patients, Bulhorn gives the opportunity to correct birth defects, and the results are immediately visible immediately after removing the bandage. People who went through such an operation report that after it there are no traces and scars, and the lips look natural and natural.
Negative reviews of Bulhorn also occur. True, there are much fewer than positive ones. Some ladies claim that they do not close their mouth after surgery. They consider the result of the procedure dubious.
