A well-defined, youthful lip shape can transform your entire face, adding balance, elegance, and natural beauty. By shortening the space between the nose and upper lip, a lip lift creates a more defined, youthful pout without relying on fillers.
About Lip Lift Surgery
A lip lift refines the upper lip by shortening the space between the nose and lip, enhancing shape and definition for a more youthful appearance.
A lip lift procedure refines the appearance of the upper lip by shortening the space between the nose and the lip called the “philtrum.” Over time, aging and genetics can cause the upper lip to lengthen and lose volume, making the lips appear thinner and less defined. A lip lift corrects this by repositioning the lip for a fuller, more youthful appearance.
Common Types of Lip Lift Procedures:
- Subnasal "Bullhorn" Lip Lift – The most common technique in which a small incision is made under the nose to lift the upper lip.
- Corner Lip Lift – This technique lifts the corners of the mouth to correct a downturned appearance, creating a more youthful and cheerful expression.
- Italian Lip Lift – A variation of the bullhorn technique with two small incisions under the nostrils, offering a more subtle lift.
- Direct Lip Lift – this procedure provides a dramatic lift for patients looking for more definition by removing a small strip of skin just above the upper lip.
