A lip lift shortens the space between the nose and the upper lip. It shows more of the pink part of the lip and a little more of the upper teeth, for a fuller, more youthful mouth without filler.
The distance between the nose and upper lip lengthens with age, and some people are born with a long upper lip. This can make the lip look thin and hide the upper teeth.
Dr. Sood removes a small strip of skin just below the nose and lifts the lip upward. The incision is hidden along the natural curve of the base of the nose.
The result is permanent, unlike filler, and can be combined with filler if more volume is wanted.
You may be a good candidate if you have a long upper lip, a thin-looking lip, or little upper tooth show.
If your question is not here, bring it to consultation. Nothing is too small to ask.
