Lip Lift
Q & A
What is a Lip Lift?
A lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the space between the nose and the upper lip, lifting the upper lip to create a more youthful and fuller appearance. This procedure enhances the natural curvature and definition of the lips without the need for fillers.
Am I a candidate for a Lip Lift?
You may be a candidate for a lip lift if you have a long upper lip, a thin upper lip, or if you desire more permanent results than those offered by lip fillers. Ideal candidates are in good health and have realistic expectations about the outcome.
What are the benefits of a Lip Lift?
The benefits include a more defined and fuller upper lip, improved balance between the nose and mouth, and a more youthful facial appearance. A lip lift can also enhance the visibility of the upper teeth when smiling, contributing to a more attractive and balanced smile.
What are the risks of a Lip Lift?
Risks include scarring, infection, asymmetry, and changes in sensation. There may also be a temporary or permanent stiffness in the upper lip, and some patients may experience difficulties with lip movement. Discussing these risks with a skilled surgeon is essential before undergoing the procedure.
