About this Treatment
Lip Lift
A lip lift is an aesthetic, surgical procedure that elevates and shortens the upper lip and corners of the mouth to restore changes associated with aging.
Along with a surgical lip lift, additional rejuvenation of the aging mouth may be achieved with laser or Renuvion JPlasma skin resurfacing, and also volume enhancement with injectable fillers or fat grafts.
What It Is
Aging changes around the mouth and lips can become very significant over time. Aging, sun damage, smoking and time may all be factors in the loss of a young and attractive mouth. The multiple changes of thinning, loss of lip fullness, and fine lines that become worse with movement can all be a factor.
One of the major features of the aging mouth can be lengthening and sagging of the upper lip. A surgical lip lift can directly address this and elevate and support the upper lip and corners of the mouth to a more youthful and natural appearance.
