Lip Lift
Lip Lift operation is often recommended for individuals whose thin lips make for aging looks. The operation involves performing a cut underneath the nasal sill, stretching from one side of the alar to another. The excess skin underneath the nasal sill will then be removed and pulled to reveal more of the upper lip.
It is important to be aware of the scar, which will gradually fade away within 6-12 months. The overall shape of the lip will remain the same, with the upper lip appearing fuller.
It is recommended to have a pre-assessment from the surgeon. Individuals whose lip tissues are already proportionate, the operation may actually lead to a disproportionate appearance.
Recommended for:
Individuals with thin upper lips who want a fuller lip look.
