Understanding Lip Lift Surgery

A lip lift is a precise surgical procedure designed to enhance facial harmony by shortening the distance between the nose and upper lip. This technique increases the visibility of the pink lip, creating a fuller, more youthful appearance without the need for repeated injectable treatments.

What Makes a Lip Lift Unique?

• Permanent solution for lip enhancement
• Customized to individual facial proportions
• Surgical technique that reveals more of the lip's pink tissue
• Minimal scarring with strategic incision placement

Ideal Candidates for Lip Lift
