Bullhorn Lip Lift Frankfurt

Before the procedure, you will have a personal consultation with Dr. Nichlos in our private practice in Frankfurt. He will ask you what led you to decide to have your lips lifted. He would like to know why you want new lips and how you envision your new appearance in order to achieve the best possible result for you.

He will then advise you on the most suitable form of lip correction to achieve your desired results (for example, fuller lips). He will explain the procedure of a bullhorn lift to you in detail and will also inform you about possible risks during the consultation and give you advice on what you should look out for after the procedure.

No special preparation for the Bullhorn Lift is required. However, you should avoid alcohol and nicotine before and after the procedure to minimize the risk of complications during treatment and wound healing.

If you regularly take blood-thinning medication, please inform us of this at an early stage. It may be necessary to temporarily discontinue these in consultation with Dr. Nichlos. Please note: Unfortunately, treatment is not possible for acute skin diseases and infections.

Dr. Nichlos performs the bullhorn lift under local anaesthetic in the operating rooms of the Berger Klinik. During the procedure, he applies an anesthetic cream around the mouth so that you do not feel any pain. If desired, treatment in twilight sleep is also possible, but general anesthesia is not necessary. Dr. Nichlos will discuss the anaesthetic options with you in advance.

As soon as the anaesthetic takes effect, Dr. Nichlos makes a small incision below the nose, along the nasal fold or bridge. He then removes a narrow strip of skin in the marked shape (“bullhorn excision”) and then sutures the edges of the remaining skin.

You can see the results of the procedure immediately, although swelling will occur immediately afterwards. This is a normal reaction to the procedure. They usually subside after a few days and then the final result of the treatment is visible.

Allow yourself some rest in the first few days after lip augmentation. By carefully cooling the surgical area, you will help your body to heal, speed up the reduction of swelling and help to achieve the result you want.

Avoid physical exertion of any kind for approx. 2 weeks and protect your face from direct sunlight.

Despite its special incision, the Bullhorn Lip Lift is considered a low-risk treatment method. However, the general risks associated with any operation, such as post-operative bleeding or wound healing disorders, cannot be ruled out. Infections are also possible, but extremely rare thanks to our strict hygiene guidelines. Swelling often occurs in the treatment area after a Bullhorn Lip Lift. Slight redness and minor bruising are also temporarily possible, as are sensory disturbances on and around the lips.
