What is a Bullhorn Lift or CUPID Lip Lift?


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.


Why is the procedure called Bullhorn Lift?


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.


Who is suitable for a Lip Lift?


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.


Process of a Bullhorn or CUPID Lip Lift


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

  • Enhancement of the Cupid's bow

  • Optional: Correction of drooping mouth corners

Thanks to modern incision and suturing techniques, the scar is barely visible later.

Immediately after the procedure, the upper lip is cooled to reduce swelling. After about one week, the sutures are removed – the procedure is then usually barely visible. The scar can then be covered with makeup. Complete scar maturation takes several months, after which it is usually barely noticeable.
The scar healing process takes several months. After that, the scars are usually barely noticeable and the final result can be fully assessed.
Yes. The lip lift is a permanent procedure. A possible follow-up treatment is – if at all – relevant after 10-15 years at the earliest.
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia. If desired, twilight sedation can also be offered to increase comfort during the procedure.
With lip injections using hyaluronic acid, volume is added, which must be repeated regularly. The lip lift, on the other hand, surgically shortens the distance between nose and upper lip and offers a permanent, natural result without the typical 'overfilled' look.
