Disclaimer: everything discussed in this thread is highly experimental, also no medical advice.
I have been thinking about ways to increase lip width quickly and permanently, and until some time ago, the only way that I knew was lateral commissuroplasty.
The problem with that is that it usually leaves visible scars and the healing process is somewhat ass because the cuts are made to the corners of your lips (also increases the chance of infection bc mouth is packed with germs)
So I went back to the drawing board and came up with my own surgical procedure (yes, my own, couldn't even find a name for it), which I named Lateral Labial Facelift (lateral lips facelift)
Basically what it is, is a local facelift to stretch the lips in a direction shown in the picture below.
It can also be used to correct up or downturned lips while widening them. Combined with lipolysis injected into lips, this can effectively make lips wider and slimmer.
In this example, I assume you aren't some 70-year-old grandma who has saggy skin all over her face and would need multiple cm's of skin removed.
The cut is made behind the masseter muscle and ramus/mandible head, as shown in the picture below.
This location minimizes the esthetic effect of the possible scar and ensures that no damage is done to the masseter muscle. There aren't any major muscles, nerves, or veins in that area, that being one of the reasons why this area was chosen.
The size of the cut itself is around 1-1,5cm in height and >1cm in width. (Though especially the width varies from person to person depending on their personal needs)
As after a normal facelift, a collagen supplement is recommended to decrease the risk of stretch marks forming. (Need depends on the width of the cut)
I'm not gonna bother yall (yet) with the cutting technique/how to make proper incisions, since this isn't a guide/tutorial. (If I decide to do this, will make one in the future)
I am thinking about this, which is why I came up with it in the first place. (Not an inhib problem, I'm just not sure if I need it, more examination is required)
You can try how this affects your lips by slightly pinching the skin behind your mandible and pulling a little bit of skin up. (Try different amounts)
This is really much still at the drawing board, very experimental still, and some research is still required until I am confident enough to do it.
