Lip Lift

The Lip Lift is a surgical procedure which can restore volume to the upper lip. It can also benefit people who have an elongated upper lip. Performed under local anesthesia, the Lip Lift involves removing a small strip of skin immediately beneath the nose. Surgery in this area tends to heal extremely well with a scar that is usually invisible. The benefits of the Lip Lift are that it shortens the upper lip and turns out more of the pink part of the lip, creating a more attractive and youthful appearance. This procedure can also be used to turn up the corners of the mouth, correcting the "downward smile" that occurs with aging.
