“With fillers I aim for a balanced, not a 'puffy' result; with a measured amount I provide a natural look suited to your facial proportions.”
A lip lift shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip (the philtrum), raising the upper lip to create a more defined, fuller, youthful smile. Unlike filler, it gives a permanent, structural change.
It is for people with a long nose-to-lip distance, a thin/flat-looking upper lip, or an upper lip that has thinned with age. The most common candidates want a permanent result and more tooth/lip show instead of filler.
The procedure moves the upper lip tissue upward and shows more of the teeth when smiling; the scar is hidden in the natural crease at the base of the nose.
