Description
This 29-year-old healthcare professional wanted to rejuvenate and balance the appearance and balance of her lips and face. She had previously tried dermal fillers to add volume to her lips, but wanted to find a longer lasting treatment option. She also wanted to make the upper look shorter and more in balance with her face alongside with adding more contour to her chin.
Our Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Inessa Fishman treated her with an upper lip lift (also called a bullhorn lip lift) and a small chin implant. Previously shown just a few days out from surgery in Lip Lift Case 4, our patient is now shown 6 months after her upper lip lift and chin implant surgery, and is very pleased with her natural and rejuvenating result. She has a noticeable improvement in her lip and facial balance, and shows excellent healing.
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).
