Descripción
This 34-year-old woman was bothered by her too-long appearance of her upper lip, and did not feel she got significant and long-lasting improvement in this with multiple treatments of lip filler since 2019. She wanted to improve the appearance of her lips and lower face both at rest and with smiling. Our expert facial plastic surgeon Dra. Inessa Fishman treated her with a bullhorn upper cirugía de levantamiento de labios, performing this surgical procedure in the comfort of our office, with the help of by-mouth relaxing medications, laughing gas, and injectable numbing medicine.
The patient is shown just 1 week after her lip lift, with a beautiful outcome and excellent healing. She has a more open and “brighter” smile, and her upper lip is now more balance with her lower lip. The red part of the upper lip (where lipstick is normally applied) looks fuller after treatment, without the addition of fillers or volume. Her upper lip is more symmetric, and there is moderate resolving swelling and minimal bruising. She will continue to heal and note a more natural, symmetric appearance over the next 6 months.
