Description
This 34-year-old woman traveled to us from a different state for lip balancing surgery. She was interested in improving her smile and mouth appearance. She disliked what she felt was inadequate red lip show, and wanted to have more fulness at the upper and lower red lips. Our patient reported that she had researched lip lift surgery for years.
Our facial plastic surgeon Dr. Inessa Fishman treated our patient with a bullhorn upper lip lift and lower lip advancement, performing these surgical procedures in the comfort of our office, with the help of injectable numbing medicine. Our patient elected to forego relaxing medications and sedation for her treatment.
The patient is shown 1 day after her upper lip lift and lower lip advancement, with a beautiful and already more balanced outcome. Her upper lip is now more balance with her lower lip. The red part of the upper and lower lips (where lipstick is normally applied) looks fuller after treatment, without the addition of fillers or volume.
