Lip Lift Techniques
Gull-Wing Lip Lift
This technique focuses on improving the vermilion border, carefully removing skin to reshape and lift the lips while emphasizing the Cupid's bow. The procedure strategically enhances lip definition and volume.
Sub-Nasal Lip Lift
During this surgical approach, a small section of skin beneath the nose is removed, lifted, and repositioned. This method increases vermilion volume and accentuates the lip's natural contours.
Procedure Expectations
Lip lift surgery requires precision and typically involves local or general anesthesia. The procedure duration ranges from a few minutes to two hours, depending on individual facial anatomy. Patients should anticipate mild swelling and bruising during the initial two-week recovery period.
Candidacy and Consultation
During a comprehensive consultation, Plastic Surgery Vegas specialists will evaluate individual cosmetic goals and determine the most appropriate lip lift technique. The procedure can address concerns such as thin lips, gummy smiles, and age-related lip volume loss.
Procedure Considerations
- Typically removes 5-7mm of tissue
- Strategically placed incisions minimize scarring
- Can be combined with complementary procedures
- Natural-looking results emphasized
