Upper Lip Lift, Well Defined Lips
Upper Lip Lift, Well Defined Lips
Many people seek improvement in their upper lip position and appearance.
A long upper lip/nose distance can create an aged or unfavorable appearance. While temporary solutions exist, lip lift surgery offers a permanent solution by surgically modifying the distance between the nose and upper lip, creating a more attractive lip position and shape.
What is Lip Lift Surgery?
Lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the space between the nose and upper lip (philtrum) through an incision in the natural creases at the base of the nose. Performed under local anesthesia, this procedure takes approximately one hour and creates permanent enhancement of upper lip position and shape.
Treatable Conditions
Long upper lip (elongated philtrum)
Downturned lip corners
Thin upper lip show
Hidden upper teeth when smiling
Age-related lip descent
Unfavorable lip-to-teeth ratio

Lip lift surgery is one of my frequently performed procedures, offering permanent enhancement of upper lip aesthetics. While the procedure does leave a scar, careful placement within natural creases allows for optimal concealment. The key to successful results lies in precise surgical planning and meticulous technique.
