Understanding Lip Lift Surgery
A lip lift is a precise cosmetic surgical procedure designed to elevate the upper lip, creating a more aesthetically pleasing and youthful facial appearance. By reducing the distance between the nose and upper lip, this technique reveals more of the upper teeth and enhances the natural contour of the lips.
Key Benefits of Lip Lift Procedure
- Enhanced Facial Contour: Elevates the upper lip for a more defined appearance
- Improved Lip Proportion: Reduces space between nose and upper lip
- Boosted Self-Confidence: Creates a more youthful and balanced facial profile
- Long-Lasting Results: Provides permanent lip enhancement
Surgical Technique and Approach
Dr. Meegan Gruber performs lip lift surgery using a subnasal or bullhorn incision strategically placed beneath the nose. This technique allows for precise skin removal and lip elevation, ensuring minimal visible scarring and natural-looking results.
Procedure Details
- Performed under local anesthesia
- Incision hidden in natural crease beneath the nose
- Removes small strip of skin to elevate lip
- Typically completed within one hour
Ideal Candidates for Lip Lift
Candidates for lip lift surgery often include individuals with naturally thin lips, those experiencing age-related lip elongation, or patients seeking to improve facial proportions. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Gruber will determine individual suitability for the procedure.
Recovery and Expectations
Patients can expect minimal downtime, with initial swelling and bruising subsiding within several days. Dissolvable stitches are used, and most individuals return to normal activities within a week.
Combining Procedures
A lip lift can be effectively combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as facelift or eyelid surgery to achieve comprehensive facial harmony and enhancement.
