Description
This 47-year-old healthcare professional wanted to rejuvenate and balance the appearance and balance of her lower face and neck. She came in for a customized consultation, and our Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Inessa Fishman recommended a surgical lift of the face, neck, and upper lift to optimize her facial aesthetics. The upper lip lift (also called a bullhorn lip lift) helps improve this patient’s smile and make the lower face look less heavy.
Our patient is shown just 2.5 months after deep plane cheek and neck lift, and upper lip lift surgery, and is already very pleased with her natural-appearing and elegant result. She has a noticeable improvement in her lip and facial balance, and shows excellent early healing. Her lip lift scar is already difficult to find.
Her results will continue to improve as swelling resolves and her tissues heal fully over the next 6-12 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).
