A lip lift is a precision surgical procedure that restores the upper lip by reducing the stretched, lax skin between the base of the nose and the lip margin.
Dr. Paul Denton, an expert in facial cosmetic surgery with more than 15 years of experience, has drawn on a combination of techniques to develop LipLift-3D™, a unique approach addressing all aspects of lip shape and contour.
Types of Upper Lip Lift
- Direct Lip Lift: This technique removes a strip of skin directly above the upper lip, increasing the visible pink area. It’s ideal for patients looking for a more pronounced upper lip. However, this method can leave a subtle scar near the lip.
- Bullhorn Lip Lift: One of the most popular lip lift procedures, this method removes a bullhorn-shaped strip of skin beneath the nostrils. It shortens the space between the nose and the upper lip (philtrum), resulting in a fuller upper lip and more defined shape. Scars are well-hidden under the nose.
- Corner Lip Lift: This procedure lifts the corners of the mouth by removing small pieces of skin at the edges. It’s perfect for patients with downturned lips, creating a the corner of lips with a lifted appearance.
