Description
This 32-year-old healthcare professional wanted to rejuvenate and balance the appearance and balance of her lips and face. She had had dermal fillers to add volume to her lips in the past, but did not feel like she enjoyed the results as much as she had hoped. She still wanted to make the upper look shorter and more in balance with her face. Our Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Inessa Fishman treated her with an upper lip lift (also called a bullhorn lip lift) in the comfort of our welcoming and bespoke office; the patient had a great experience while awake and relaxed with by-mouth relaxing medications and injected numbing medicine.
Our patient is shown just 4 days after her upper lip lift surgery, and is already very pleased with her natural and rejuvenating result. She has a noticeable improvement in her lip and facial balance, and shows excellent early healing. Her results will continue to improve as swelling resolves and her tissues heal fully over the next 6 months.
Lip lift surgery is an excellent treatment for help improve facial balance and shorten an upper lip which commonly becomes longer and more heavy with age. Lip lift surgery by itself is most commonly an office-based surgical procedure in our practice; we also commonly combine with out facial rejuvenation treatments such as a facelift and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).
