Understanding the Lip Lift Procedure
A youthful lip is characterized by a shorter, fuller upper lip with a clearly defined border between the skin and lip vermilion. The procedure focuses on restoring the natural, balanced appearance of the lips that can be altered by aging.
Surgical Technique
The lip lift is a precise surgical technique designed to shorten the upper lip skin length between the nasal base and upper lip border. Key aspects of the procedure include:
- Scar placement between the nostril borders at the base of the nose
- Excision of extra upper lip skin using a distinctive gull wing shape
- Precise skin edge approximation with minimal visible stitching
Recovery and Scar Management
Patients can expect the following post-procedure characteristics:
- Incision can be covered with makeup after one week
- Scar gradually flattens and fades over several months
- Restoration of a shorter, more balanced upper lip
