• Post-Operative Care: Minimal lip manipulation for 2 weeks
• Recovery: Return to work within 3-5 days

Understanding Lip Lift Techniques

A lip lift involves surgically shortening the distance between the nose and upper lip, increasing upper tooth visibility and creating a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. The procedure can be performed independently or in combination with other lip enhancement methods.

Surgical Approach

Dr. Patel employs advanced surgical techniques to:

• Reduce skin length above the upper lip
• Enhance lip contour and shape
• Increase visible tooth show
• Create natural, balanced results

Customized Lip Enhancement Options

Permanent Lip Augmentation

Permanent lip plumping can be achieved through techniques such as dermal fat grafting, which uses the patient's own tissue to create natural, long-lasting volume.

Lip Reduction Techniques

For patients seeking thinner lips, surgical reduction involves carefully designed incisions to remove excess tissue while maintaining natural aesthetics.

Anatomical Considerations

Key measurements and anatomical factors include:

• Normal nose-to-lip distance: 18-22 mm for women, 20-24 mm for men
• Preservation of philtral columns
• Individualized approach based on facial proportions
