The Bullhorn Lift, also known as CUPID Lip Lift, is a modern aesthetic surgical procedure for shortening the philtrum – the distance between the nose and upper lip. The aesthetically ideal philtrum length is about 1 to 1.5 centimeters.
With lip lifting, this distance is specifically reduced. This lifts the Cupid's bow and upper lip, making the upper lip appear fuller, more defined and more youthful – without the artificial "overfilled" effect.
Unlike hyaluronic acid treatments, the Bullhorn Lift offers a long-lasting, permanent result without regular follow-up treatments.
The incision is made directly below the nose in a curved shape reminiscent of a bull's horn (bullhorn). The CUPID Lip Lift is an advanced technique where the design of the incision and the emphasis on the Cupid's bow are aesthetically optimized.
A lip lift is particularly suitable for patients:
With a distance between nose and upper lip that is too long
With age-related lengthening of the philtrum
With little visible upper lip vermillion
Seeking a permanent alternative to lip fillers
With increasing age, the mouth area changes significantly. A shortened philtrum makes the face appear fresher, more harmonious and more youthful.
A prerequisite is a detailed personal consultation with Dr. Caspari in Munich to clarify individual suitability.
During the Bullhorn Lift, a narrow strip of skin is removed directly below the nose. Through precise suturing of the wound edges, the upper lip is gently lifted upward.
Shortening of the philtrum
Enlargement of visible upper lip vermillion

Optional: Correction of drooping mouth corners
Thanks to modern incision and suturing techniques, the scar is barely visible later.
