Procedures Performed: Upper Lip Lift
Several months after undergoing an upper lip lift with corner lifts, this patient in her late 60s displays subtle yet effective enhancement to the shape and positioning of her lips. The upper lip lift involved carefully removing a small strip of skin just beneath the base of the nose, shortening the philtrum and gently elevating the upper lip. This adjustment enhances the natural curvature of the lip while improving upper tooth show, creating a more youthful and balanced appearance. The corner lip lifts were performed to elevate the outer corners of the mouth, reducing the appearance of downward-turning at rest. This technique helps address age-related drooping at the corners, contributing to a more pleasant, neutral expression. Together, these procedures provided a natural, refreshed improvement to both lip shape and facial expression, without creating an over-pulled or exaggerated look.
