What are the types of lip lifts?

Scar location, variant by variant

For each lip lift variant on offer, the first thing to pin down is where the scar sits. Ask which variant is proposed for you and where its scar would be.

Reading the names

When a clinic uses a branded or catchy name for a lip lift, quote it and ask what exactly is cut, where the scar would sit, and why that approach was chosen for your face. Then check whether the same technique is described under a different name elsewhere. The paper Surgical Method of a Corner Mouth Lift is a published description of one named technique, so it gives you a reference point for that name. For a wider view, the society article From gloss to surgery: every lip augmentation option ranked sets lip options side by side, which gives you another way to test the name a clinic has chosen.

Matching names to what is done

Make a short list of every technique name you have been offered and write beside each one what the source says it involves. Bring the list to your consultation and ask the surgeon to match each name to what they would do.

Technique is a surgeon's decision

Which technique suits you is a decision for a surgeon who has examined you. Nothing above is medical advice.
