Hi hi, sis! Have you ever wanted to take a photo with dreamy eyes and a pout to look sexy like Aum Patcharapa and rack up the likes from the guys, but no matter how much you pout, your lips just never look as sexy as you want? Snap a photo, delete it straight away, and you still can’t find an angle where your pout looks good. Sigh~ If your answer is yes, you can’t miss this article!

Because today we’re talking about lip enhancement with Lips Plump Surgery™ (Bullhorn) — also known as upper lip lift surgery — a hugely popular procedure among women abroad, and now trending in Thailand too!

What is the Lips Plump Surgery™ (Bullhorn) programme?

For girls who still can’t picture what Bullhorn surgery is, here’s a simple explanation. Lips Plump Surgery™ (Bullhorn) is upper lip lift surgery that makes the upper lip line sit slightly higher, with the upper lip border curving beautifully into a Cupid’s Bow — the dream lip shape, with an upper border curved like a bow. So sexy and charming!

The name “Bullhorn” comes from the shape of the incision, which looks like a bull’s horns (Bull’s Horn). It sits right under the nose, along the upper lip line, allowing the surgery to lift the upper lip into a beautiful position naturally

What can the Lips Plump Surgery™ (Bullhorn) programme do?

Bullhorn surgery doesn’t just make your lips fuller, it can also fix several concerns at once, including

Lifting the upper lip into a beautiful shape The upper lip looks higher, the lip border is more defined, and you get the sweet, charming Cupid’s Bow shape you’ve dreamed of

Fixing flat and thin lips For girls whose upper lip is flat or so thin that it makes them look older than their age, an upper lip lift adds volume and fullness for a younger, fresher look

Fixing a drooping or protruding upper lip For people whose upper lip droops down over the mouth or protrudes in an unflattering way, Bullhorn surgery can correct this precisely

An option for people who don’t want frequent filler injections Girls who already have some lip volume but want them fuller without repeating filler injections every 6-12 months can choose Bullhorn instead, as the results last much longer and save money in the long run

Who is suitable for the Lips Plump Surgery™ (Bullhorn) programme?

Bullhorn surgery is suitable for girls with the following lip characteristics

Flat lips The upper lip is flat, with no projection or fullness, making the face look flat and lacking dimension

Thin lips Both lips are thin, or only the upper lip is thinner than the lower, making the lips look unbalanced

Drooping upper lip The upper lip droops down over the lower lip when the mouth is slightly open or at rest, taking away your charm

Want a more defined Cupid’s Bow lip border Girls whose upper lip border is not well defined and lacks that pretty M-shaped curve can have it done

Want longer-lasting results than filler For people who have had lip filler and feel they need top-ups too often, or don’t like the feeling of injections, Bullhorn surgery is a great fit

What are the steps of the Lips Plump Surgery™ (Bullhorn) programme?

First of all, let us tell you that this procedure is not as scary as you think. Let’s look at the whole process

Step 1: Consultation and surgical planning Before surgery, the doctor will talk with you in detail about the lip shape you want, analyse your facial structure and plan the most suitable surgery for you, because everyone’s face and lip structure are different

Step 2: Local anaesthetic injection Most Bullhorn surgeries are done under local anaesthesia, with no need for general anaesthesia, making it safer and allowing a faster recovery

Step 3: Marking and surgery The doctor marks the area under the nose along the designed line, then removes a small strip of skin to lift the upper lip into the desired position

Step 4: Meticulous suturing The doctor closes the incision with fine, meticulous stitching. The scar sits in the groove under the nose, and once fully healed it blends naturally into the structure of the face

The whole surgery takes only about 1-2 hours. Not long at all!

What are the results after the Lips Plump Surgery™ (Bullhorn) programme?

This is the part you girls want to know most, right? The results of the Bullhorn programme become clearly visible once the swelling has subsided, which takes about 2-4 weeks. The results you can expect are as follows

The upper lip looks noticeably higher and fuller. The lip border has a sweet, beautifully curved Cupid’s Bow. The whole face looks younger and livelier, your smile looks brighter and cuter, and most importantly, the result looks natural, definitely not overdone like a pumped-up balloon

Bullhorn programme VS Fil™ programme injections: which is better?

Many people may wonder whether to choose the Bullhorn programme or filler injections. Let’s look at the differences

Fil™ programme Suitable for people who want to add lip volume without surgery. Results are visible immediately with no incision, but the downsides are that injections must be repeated every 6-12 months, costs add up over the long term, and some people may experience swelling or lumps if it is not injected correctly

Lips Plump Surgery™ (Bullhorn) Suitable for people who want long-lasting results. It corrects lip structure more precisely and doesn’t need frequent repeat treatments, but it does involve surgery and a recovery period

In short: if you want to reshape the structure and shape of your lips for the long term, the Bullhorn programme is the better fit. But if you just want a temporary volume boost without surgery, the Fil™ programme is a good option too

Aftercare for the Lips Plump Surgery™ (Bullhorn) programme

Don’t let your guard down after surgery! Taking care of yourself afterwards is very important, as it directly affects how fast you recover and how beautiful your results are

First 1-2 weeks Avoid touching or pressing on the incision. Avoid strongly flavoured, spicy or very hot food, as it may irritate the wound. Do not smoke at all, as it slows healing, and take the medication prescribed by your doctor regularly

Weeks 2-4 Swelling and bruising gradually go down and the lips start to look more natural. There may be slight numbness around the lips, which goes away on its own

Weeks 6-8 Avoid strenuous or high-impact activities, such as combat sports or activities with a risk of impact to the face

Scar care The doctor may recommend a scar cream or gel to help the scar fade faster. Once fully healed, the area under the nose blends into the natural groove beneath the nose

Risks to know before you decide

No surgery is completely risk-free, so before deciding, you should be aware of the following

Swelling and bruising are normal after surgery and will gradually subside on their own. In most cases, the scar under the nose fades until it is barely visible, but this also depends on your skin condition and wound care. Temporary numbness around the lips is a possible side effect and will eventually go away on its own. And as with every type of surgery, there is a small chance of infection or results not turning out as expected

To keep all these risks to a minimum, the most important thing is to choose a trustworthy clinic and a surgeon who specialises directly in this procedure. Never choose just because it’s the cheapest, sis!

Frequently asked questions about the Bullhorn programme

Q: Does it hurt a lot? A: It doesn’t hurt during surgery because of the local anaesthetic. After surgery there may be some mild pain, which can be relieved with ordinary painkillers

Q: Will the scar be very visible? A: The scar is in the groove under the nose, a spot where it is very well hidden. Once fully healed, it fades until it is barely visible in everyday life

Q: How long do the results last? A: A very long time. Because it changes the structure, the results last much longer than filler injections, although the skin will change somewhat with age over the long term

Q: Will my lips look natural? A: When done by an experienced surgeon with a plan that suits your facial structure, the results look very natural, not stiff or fake at all

Q: How much does it cost? A: The price varies by clinic and by the complexity of each case. Book a consultation with a doctor for an accurate assessment
