What is a Lip Lift?
A lip lift is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that reshapes the upper lip to improve its position, contour, and proportion. The procedure is ideal for individuals seeking:
-
A more defined and prominent upper lip.
-
A shorter distance between the upper lip and the nose for a more youthful aesthetic.
-
A natural enhancement to the lip area
The Procedure
Dr. Farrah Yau personalizes each lip lift procedure to meet the patient’s aesthetic goals. The procedure typically includes:
Consultation and Planning
A detailed discussion to understand your desired results and evaluate your facial anatomy.
Incision Placement
A small incision is made at the base of the nose, hidden in the natural creases, to minimize visibility. Occasionally, a small incision is also required at the corner of the lips.
Tissue Adjustment
Excess skin is removed, and the upper lip is subtly lifted to create the desired contour and height.
Surgical Closure
Precise suturing to optimize scarring and optimal healing.
