Background

Lip Lift

The upper lip tends to lengthen and thin as we age. A lift lip creates a more youthful and feminine upper lip.

What is a lip lift?

A lip lift is performed by removing skin from the upper lip just below the nose. This shortens and everts the upper lip for more fullness, and provides slightly more tooth show. The scar is placed in the crease between the nose and the upper lip, hidden within the shadow. Fat grafting to the lips can be performed at the same time as a lip lift to further enhance fullness to the lips.

What are the benefits?
After a lip lift at Optum Plastic Surgery, you can expect:
  • Shorter, more youthful upper lip
  • More everted red portion of the upper lip, creating a fuller appearance
  • More appropriate and feminine tooth show (ideal around 5mm for women)
  • Beautiful, natural results

I love the results!

Everything was better than expected. The day of surgery was splendid. Everyone made me feel comfortable and secure. Honest, clear, careful and I love the results.
